Once a month? Once a week? When recovery is complete, is the expectation to have regular exams once a year?
In my practice, the typical follow-up schedule for PRK is as follows: Day 1 (infection and contact lens check), Day 4 or 5 (bandage contact lens is removed), week 2 (vision and eye pressure check), Week 6 (vision and dryness check), Month 3 (vision check), Month 6 (vision check and decision if enhancement needs to be done), 1 year (general check up). And then regular eye exams including dilation each year thereafter.
