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

I had my both eyes done and had multi focal lenses put in. It cost $3000 per eye at Lake Eye and it is the best thing I ever did for my sight. I wore glasses for 30 years for distance and reading. Since my surgery, I have not had to wear glasses at all. I read constantly and can see my golf ball without trouble. I have never had any problems with my vision since the surgery that was performed about 6 years ago.
