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?
I use to wear multifocal contact lenses but when I had cataract surgery, my eye doctor said no. Anyone that has multifocal cataract surgery, that I have talked with, doesn't like them. I wear over the counter glasses for reading and computer work - no problem.
