Has anyone had lasik and would like to share their experience with me?

I am having the “bladeless” lasik done in two weeks. They will use little bubbles to lift and create the flap on my eye to do the lasik instead of using the blade. Has anyone had this done? What was it like for you? How did you feel afterwards? Would you recommend it? My vision is 20/400 in both eyes, so I am looking forward to it, but nervous at the same time. Any opinions?
My wife had the bladeless done. She had her corneal flap “lasered” half way around and folded out of the way for the laser treatment which is part of the procedure. The laser treatment only took around 10 mins for each eye. After the actual laser treatment is done they fold the corneal flap back over which heals very fast (I think a couple of days). She was sensitive to light for a couple of days but I think she went back to work 2 days after the treatment. She still wore tinted glasses to compensate for the light. The procedure also got rid of her asthigmatism in both eyes. She noticed the vision correction immediately after the procedure. She loved it and recommended it to all her friends that wear glasses. She loves not having to wear glasses.
