How long does the procedure last? And the halo side effect I've read about, is that permanent or temporary?

Could someone summarize the differences among the eye surgery techniques? I thought there was a previous post that did just that but I can't find it.

I got my free consultation and was a good fit for either lasik or prk, but they’d want to see me after a month of no contact wear (I sleep in mine so heavy user here). Money is a bit tight at the moment but I should have my ducks in a row by next year. I think I’m gonna go for it!

Right now I’m leaning more toward PRK since I’d prefer to avoid as much invasive surgery as possible. The increased recovery time has me a little wary but the average case seems tolerable? I asked the doctor what he would have offered a family member and he didn’t hesistate to recommend Prk, for whatever that’s worth.

There’s also a decision concerning money., I would get a discount if I allow a fellow to do my procedure. Anyone in here have an opinion on that? It would be a difference of around 1-2K total.

It’s a bad habit I’m hoping to shake next year.
