How many times when you started it ?
Flurometholone eyedrops have to be strictly reduced according to the doctor's prescription.
Although it is a very useful eyedrop, in some people, it can increase the pressure of the eye and has to be stopped and eye pressure checked.
Next Steps
Stop the Flurometholone eyedrops.
Visit your ophthalmologist to check your eye pressure and your PRK recovery

This drop should not be used prolonged. So it is better you ask your eye surgeon and consult him at the hospital if possible.
