After PRK Surgery, is It Safe to Continue with Eye Drops for Allergies (Patanol) and Dry Eyes (Restasis)?

You should always speak with your eye doctor about medications for your particular situation.  However, these medications can be continued after PRK.  Restasis can help the flucutuations in vision by diminishing dryness, which may be exacerbated during the healing phases after PRK.  If you are still on topical steroid eye drops for healing after PRK, you might not require the anti-allergy drop until this is discontinued.  

Upon completion of the postoperative eye drop regimen that is given to you following one of the procedures mentioned above, you can start again with any eye drop you have used in the past, for allergy, redness, etc. Typically, the post surgical regimen lasts about 2-4 weeks, and we like you  to avoid drops other than what we prescribe during this period. After that, however, there are no eye drop restrictions.
