Replacement lenses for cataract surgery

Im scheduled for cataract surgery on both eyes, in June and July. Wondering if anyone has had an upgraded lenses put in that allows you to not have to wear glasses, and only use reading glasses? And how successful has that been for you? Medicare nor my insurance will cover the upgrade (cost of $2,500 per eye) but I am considering it. Hoping this isnt a case of "something that sounds too good to be true so it probably is".
