Are Latanoprost Eye Drops That Are Frozen Safe To Use ?

I am taking Latanoprost eye drops. Pharmacy instructions are to refrigerate and do not freeze . They were inadvertantly frozen15 hours. Are they safe to use? The written material that came with the drops reported they they could be kept at room temperature for six weeks after opening.
