Six years ago I had both eyes done and multi-focal lenses implanted. Dr. said the extra cost would be about $1500 per eye. Turned out to be about $3,000 per eye, as the lenses are more expensive plus both the surgeon and facility charge extra for that type of procedure. I am grateful that I was in a position to pay the six grand out of pocket because I LOVE not wearing glasses. (Pre-surgery I wore blended bifocals for 20+ years which were not cheap either.)
Dr. warned me about the halos. He said if I drove a lot at night he wouldn't recommend them but I don't.
I know people talk about how colors are much brighter post-surgery. I did not notice any such change but I had my surgery done before my cataracts got too bad.
FWIW, I was TERRIFIED to have the surgery. The idea of someone working on my eye gave me the creeps. However, it was absolutely a piece of cake. The worst part was putting drops in my eyes for a few weeks beforehand, as I had never used any kind of eye drops.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
