Hmmm...you are asking about 2 different surgeries. If you are a candidate for cataract surgery, don't look into LASIK - there is no need and insurance will pay for it. LASIK is a different story - most of the cost is out of pocket.
There is this old thread on LASIK surgeons in the Raleigh/Cary area that might be useful to you - the 3 docs named are the same and some of the busiest ones in the area for LASIK at least.
LASIK surgeon recommendations?
More details in a PM to you.
