Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach: OWSP Teams with Elective Procedures Conference Featuring Richard A. Weiss, MD
OWSP Founder Richard A. Weiss, MD, announced recently that the organization will team with the conference Botox, Blephs & LASIK: Elective Ophthalmic & Skin Rejuvenation Procedures to help benefit the non-profit organization. Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach informs that ophthalmologists, dermatologists, oculoplastic and plastic surgeons as well as optometrists and RNs are invited to attend the conference. According to Richard A. Weiss, MD, “We are guaranteed to cure blindness in at least 80 people in Tanzania and Tibet with this program. Just one registration to the conference can cure two people of potential blindness due to cataracts. To provide sight to many of the world’s backlog of 25 million curable blind people is a daunting task but we can help with fundraising opportunities like this one”.
Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach will also hold a fundraiser on Thursday, August 18 with Botox Cosmetic® product donated by Allergan Inc. Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach will inject patients for a $100 donation with all of the profits going directly to benefit the One World Sight Project. Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach is attempting to fund surgery for 100 people through the event.
In addition to the conference for medical professionals, Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach highlights that the public is invited to attend a beach party at Newport Dunes on Saturday, August 27th that will include dinner, drinks and a band with dancing. Tickets for this event will be $125 per person – $50 of which will be tax deductible. Children and families are invited to attend. Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach continues, “It costs $50 to permanently cure a person of blindness in the developing world – so that if you can make the party, you can rightly feel that because of you, someone in the world can see and that it happened this summer.”
Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach warns that space is limited, so if you are interested, it is recommended that you RSVP promptly to Jana at 949-720-1400 and make checks payable to One World Sight Project, Inc (a 501.c3 tax deductible charity).

OWSP BACKGROUND
Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach notes that there are approximately 25 million people in the world who are needlessly blind from bilateral cataracts. These people could be permanently cured by a simple operation that can sometimes be performed in less than 20 minutes. Each year, there are an additional 1-1.5 million cases of new blindness developing. In other words, despite the best efforts of the world’s eye care organizations at current funding levels, the world is slowly becoming more blind. Richard A. Weiss MD of Weiss Cosmetic Newport Beach includes that without major public health measures in developing countries, the number of blind people in the world will double in the next five years.
