Need top eye doc for Memphis TN area

HI,  Have had eye problems most of my life. LASIK surgery on both eyes in Dec. 99 to correct severe near-sightedness with astigmatism. Dry-eye afterward with lots of halos, night-blindness, etc. which eventually got a little better after enhancement. Around 2004 began noticing right eye was turning in when tired,etc. eventually worsened to almost constant strabismus. Successful surgery to correct in summer 2007.  Was told I am developing cataracts last summer with no prognosis on how soon I might need surgery.  Lately have had really bad floaters, sometimes can't see well out of my left eye- it's as if I have vaseline smeared on it at times. I want to see an eye expert who has experience with cataract surgery after LASIK as I have seen online that that prior- LASIK can create problems.  I have tried researching online, but confused about which doctor is best for my specific issue. My original eye doc is retired, the doc who did my LASIK has been involved in several lawsuits so I don't want to go to him again, and the one who did my strabismus surgery now only does pediatric cataract surgery.  Any suggestions for the Memphis area top eye docs?

You can go to www.aao.org and find Board Certified Ophthalmologists that are members of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. There also is a very good ophthalmology training program at the medical school in Memphis.
