Default Multifocal lens for cataract surgery?

Has anyone having cataract surgery chosen to have the multifocal lenses that have the ability to act as a bifocal? Eliminating the need for reading glasses after the surgery?

They are expensive and not covered by medicare, however, I am trying to determine if they really function as proclaimed?

My other option is to go mono with the standard lenses covered by medicare. Mono being one eye for distance and one eye for reading......which I have had in the past when younger with lasik surgery.

btk

PS I did do a search and found some comments from back in 2010.....hopefully more experience with the multifocal lenses since!
