Full-scope surgical care, start to finish.
Too often, patients with a complicated eye are told their case is “not a good fit” and sent somewhere else to start over. Legacy was founded on a different idea: a practice and surgery center built to take care of people, not to choose the easiest cases.
Full-scope surgery
Cataract, cornea, glaucoma, iris, and complex reconstructive eye surgery, all under one roof, including combined procedures and repairs after previous surgery.
Partnered with your primary eye doctor
We work hand in hand with your primary eye doctor, who continues your routine care before and after surgery.
Built to help
Our surgery center will be designed around what patients need, so a complex case gets the time, equipment, and attention it deserves.
Cases we’re built for
Complex care is where a wide range of surgical training comes together. A few examples:
Cataract with other conditions
Cataract surgery combined with glaucoma surgery or a DMEK transplant, often in a single visit.
Shifted or dislocated lens implants
Repositioning and securing a lens implant whose support has weakened, even years after surgery.
Problems after previous surgery
Lingering inflammation, retained lens fragments, pressure spikes, or vision that never cleared.
Failed or high-risk corneas
Options to improve the odds of success when previous transplants have failed: special transplant techniques and even artificial corneas (keratoprosthesis).
Advanced glaucoma
Drainage tubes and surgery for glaucoma that drops and laser can’t control, including after earlier procedures.
Second opinions
A careful, unhurried look when you’ve been told there are no good options.
What to expect
Complex cases start with a thorough exam and detailed imaging. In plain language, we’ll discuss the benefits, the risks, what is certain and uncertain, and realistic expectations, before deciding on a plan together.
- Bring your current glasses and a list of your medications and eye drops
- Bring records from previous eye surgeries if you have them (ideally, send them ahead so we can review them before you arrive)
- Write down your questions and what you most want to see better
