I appear to have a serious issue with my pear tree. In the last few weeks the pears and leaves have developed some sort of disease. Photos are attached. Any thoughts on what it is and if it can be treated? Thanks.

I think it maybe the pear blister mite. It will take a strong magnifying glass to confirm this.
