The rates of people getting PRK compared to LASIK seem to be raising.

I wonder how much of that is PRK vs. ASA?

It seems that ASA is a wide term for methods of moving the epithelium and replacing it after the procedure. I had this with one of my treatments. It is far more pleasant. It makes sense that it is growing in popularity.

I'm very doubtful about the presented figures there. The author clearly has an agenda and does not present any sources. Additionally it is completely missing ReLEx/KLEx (SMILE etc) methods which afaik are pretty popular.
