I love my multifocal lenses and not having to wear glasses. Expensive but worth it, IMO. I don't drive much at night so the halos around lights was an okay trade off.
You may already know this, but Medicare and insurance only pay for single vision lenses so you have to pay the extra out of pocket. I was told it would be $1500 extra per eye but it ended up about $3000 out of pocket for each of the two procedures. The lens is more expensive and both the surgeon and the facility charge extra. With the cost of blended bifocals, I figured it wouldn't take me that long to come out ahead. I would have done it anyway, though, for the convenience factor.
Good luck.
