Take the opinion of operating surgeon and follow according to his advice.  He might ask u to continue or discontinue depending on ur eye status.

With a PRK, lubricants are usually advised for a longer duration. U may continue the drops without any harm. U may also reduce the frequency of instillation and check if u are comfortable with the new dose. Else get back to the original frequency. And see ur eye dr as advised.

You can continue as long as you want as prk can cause dryness, switch to preservative free drops like Genteal eye drops twice daily
