Question

Had PRK surgery a year ago but still have some dryness in my eyes is it okay to use a warm compress for relief?

Yes, using a warm compress for relief of dry eyes after PRK surgery is generally considered safe and can be helpful. It can help to stimulate the meibomian glands, which produce the oily substance that keeps tears from evaporating too quickly
