Cost of Intraocular Multifocal Lens? Astigmatism Management Fee?

A recent visit to the eye doctor reminded me that I'm getting OLD! I will need catarcat surgery in the near future. After some discussion and research I've found I'm a good candidate for a multifocal intraocular lens. My health insurance will not pay for this type of lens, only the standard type lens implant. The difference is I can most likley ditch my reading glasses with the multifocal lens implant. The standard type lens means I'll still be hunting all over the house for my specs. I'll also need to have very mild astigmatism corrected. That's called an Astigmatism Management Fee and another cost not paid for by my insurance. Does anyone know how much these things cost? I get the distinct feeling I can't afford either one.
