After obtaining informed consent, the participants were interviewed about their sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, and HRQoL. The mean utility value for the \u2018EuroQol five dimensions five levels\u2019 (\u2018EQ-5D-5L\u2019) and the composite score for the \u2018National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25\u2019 (\u2018NEI-VFQ-25\u2019) were calculated. Factors influencing HRQoL were analyzed through a generalized linear regression model. Additionally, Pearson\u2019s correlation coefficient was determined to evaluate the correlation between the HRQoL derived through vision-specific and generic measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The \u2018EQ-5D-5L\u2019 utility values were 0.74 (0.71\u20130.77) and 0.87 (0.85\u20130.89) in glaucoma and cataracts, respectively. The \u2018NEI-VFQ-25\u2019 composite score was 74.8 (72.2\u201377.2) in glaucoma and 79.3 (77.3\u201381.2) in cataract. Visual acuity was significantly associated with HRQoL in both disorders. \u2018NEI-VFQ-25\u2019 score had a strong and moderate correlation with EQ-5D-5L value in glaucoma and cataract, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The decrement in HRQoL in patients with glaucoma and cataract underscores the need to prioritize policies for improving awareness, early detection, and management of these diseases.
