Do you stop netarsudil or brimonidine for patients with very injected conjunctiva prior to trabeculectomy, and what do you feel is the benefit?

I find Rhopressa helpful in lowering IOP pre-op surgery, but it can cause inflamed conjunctiva, so I stop 1 week prior to surgery and prefer brimonidine 0.15% (Alphagan P), and it may have neuroprotective value as well.
