Has anyone had the multi focal done recently and would care to share cost and experience? Any regrets?

The cured my astigmatism. Because of prior surgery fifty years ago I had a choice of preference to distance or close vision. I chose distance, for driving a car. Now I use readers for close vision. The cost was $4000 for both eyes. I have no regrets, and would make the same choice at the same provider.
My brother went with Lake Eye, they put one lense in a little bit crooked. He needs glasses full time and he often misses putts by a fraction of an inch.
