My wife had it done three years ago on both eyes and was seeing details she had never seen later that same day. Within a week she had considerably better than 20/20 in both eyes, and it's been great ever since. She would echo what others have said - best thing that ever happened to her, wish she had done it sooner. As for your nerves, my wife was scared about it, and later told me she wished she hadn't spent so much time worrying about the procedure (she doesn't like pain), that it wasn't painful at any point. There is a feeling of pressure on your eye when they do it, but it is not painful pressure, nor uncomfortable, just a bit weird. (I'm typing as she's dictating this last sentence to me.) She's been thrilled about the whole thing and tells me to tell you that you can relax because the whole procedure from start to finish is short and much easier than you can imagine. I send my best wishes too.
