Default LAZAH EYE BEAMS! Eye surgery.

So I've decided to deeply consider the possibility of eye surgery. Glasses don't look good on me at all and contact lenses are too inconvenient and expensive long term for me. My current glasses prescription is long outdated, so it's either this or new glasses and I don't mind spending the extra cash to get something that will hopefully last for the vast majority of my life.

I've booked a consultation session to discuss my options with the specialist, although I'm deeply thinking of the "No-Touch PRK" procedure.

So my request to the rest of you gentlefolks, is to suggest or advise on questions that would be wise to bring up during the consultation session.
As far as I can tell, it is safer than the alternative, the "Intralase SBK" while also being cheaper ($500 cheaper per eye). It does require a longer recovery time period, although since I'm planning to book vacation time for this purpose, this should hopefully not be a problem. Both procedures also boost higher safety and success measure to the LASIK which is cheapest of them all but also uses a motorized blade (called a microkeratome) to cut the flap rather than using the modern state-of-the-art laser. (Something about that doesn't appeal to me...) That said the center does not offer the LASIK procedure and I don't care to get inferior/riskier procedures just to save a week or two of wages.
