Yes my husband recently had this surgery here in NC. It was $2250 per eye out of pocket for the Lense. Keep in mind he elected to have the higher end lenses implanted due to wearing glasses most of his life. He found the standard cataract surgery was covered by medicare but lense was out of pocket. No regrets! He is thrilled he no longer has to wear any glasses (no readers either) good luck!

Also, I was told that I would lose some of my near vision in exchange for getting some distance focus if I went that route.
Has anyone had the multi focal done recently and would care to share cost and experience? Any regrets?
