My bunny has cherry eye and iam giving her drops whilst we wait for the surgery but I have 2 bunnies and when we put them together all he does is lick her eyes. So I want to know if he can make it worse or should I seperate them?

If the other bunny is licking his eye excessively it can make the cherry eye worse or cause an infection or irritation. Is it just because of the drops or because the eye is weepy? I would consider separating them, however, if you do that they nay not be able to get put back together again and may become unbonded. It would be best for them to spend some time together but maybe separate for awhile twice daily after you apply the eye drops.
