No recommendation for a provider. But just a comment on my experience since it's similar. I originally had Lasik on one eye (mono-vision). I got Restor lenses for cataracts in both eyes. They did the non-Lasik eye first, the Lasik eye second. I was disappointed because I paid for Restor lenses that were advertised as full range vision (near-middle-far). The result was very close to what I had with the mono-vision Lasik. One eye is distance, one close vision. It seemed to me like the implant prescription was derived from my naked vision prior to the surgery.

I honestly don't know what to make of it. As I said, I'm just relaying my experience. Overall, the procedure is straight-forward. It did eliminate the cloudiness and I immediately notice the bright whites that I was missing. I actually had it done a little earlier than necessary, as soon as the insurance would cover it. Insurance covered basic lenses, I paid about $1000/eye for the Multifocal Restor lenses. The end result is I continue to have the same vision, without the need for corrective lenses. Since you had Lasik, I assume that's what you're looking for. I believe it should last as long as I do now.
