In patients with baseline IOP ≤18 mmHg who had GDI surgery, though the change in IOP was not statistically significant, the number of medications dropped and visual field progression slowed in a subset of patients with adequate perimetric data. Due to a relatively high rate of complications and limited effectiveness in lowering IOP, GDI should be cautiously used in these eyes.
