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

My wife just had cataract surgery, both eyes. Used Mid-Florida Eye. Cost was $3300 per eye, out of pocket, opted for laser surgery. This included surgery fee, facility fee, prescription eye drops, and initial consultation. Provider was good, answered all her questions. Went back for two follow-ups. She says colors are sharper, she can read and watch tv without glasses now. Needed readers initially but her eyes adjusted.
