It's been 10 months since my PRK surgery but I still need to use lubricant drops. Is it okay to stop using them now or should I keep going for a few more months? How long do people usually need these drops after PRK?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After PRK surgery, it’s common to continue using lubricating drops for several months until the eye fully stabilizes. Most people stop using them after 6 months, but check with your doctor for personalized advice.
