Should I allow a period of time, like 6-9 month to pass, once my lifestyle changes and screen time is greatly reduced before getting PRK correction again?

It depends on your age really. -1.50/-1.00 is perfect vision for working on the computer screen all day, which is why your eyes changed to that number. If you are in your later 30's into your 40's/50's, and have a prescription like that, it is an advantage on the screen. If that is the case you would hate PRK as you would need glasses all day on the computer (while clearing up the distance vision). PRK will not fix aging unfortunately.
Honestly, If you are working all day without symptoms IMO it is much better to just get a prescription for night driving and some prescription sunglasses for day time vision. Could also use daily contacts.
