Dr. Joson trained with Dr. Robert Ritch, a leader in the glaucoma, during his fellowship at the prestigious NY Eye and Ear Infirmary. The author of numerous papers and articles in scientific journals about glaucoma diagnosis and treatment, he has served as a clinical instructor at the Veterans' Administration Medical Center in Long Beach, California.
