Good cataract surgeon in Michigan?

I am 31 yo diagnosed with bilateral cataract(L>R) 3 years ago. My vision is getting worst within the past year and will need to have surgery soon. I have not heard about any of the surgeons in my area(Detroit). Does Eagle Eye or anyone know of any good surgeons in michigan that specialized in crystallens, restor, and rezoom or at least restor and rezoom?
Thank you

My uncle had catract surgery from a Dr. Klein. Not sure about the first name, might be Joe. He would be in the Grosse Pointe area. He is very satisfied with him and since my uncle is an attorney that should speak for itself.

I checked Castle Connolly online, and Dr. Paul R. Lichter in Ann Arbor (734-763-5874) is listed as one of "America's Top Docs."  He specializes in cataract surgery and glaucoma, and he is a full professor at the University of Michigan.  You can check the website (www.castleconnolly.com) to see their criteria for listing a doctor.  I know that the value of such listings is controversial.  However, I have had four eye surgeries (including a somewhat risky retinal procedure) with Castle Connolly docs, all with excellent results.

Kellogg Eye Center at U of M is considered one of the top ten eye hospitals in the U.S. You should be able to find highly skilled surgeons there.
