National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire 25 (NEIVFQ-25), Glaucoma Quality of Life (GQL-15), and Surgery Specific Questionnaire (SSQ) were administered, and cumulative scores were compared.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The mean age of the participants was 58.95 \u00b1 13.6 years with a male preponderance (73.3%, n = 66). The mean scores (SD) in the medical, trabeculectomy, and GDD groups using NEIVFQ-25 were 68.97 (6.98), 72.83 (7.81), and 75.20 (8.77), respectively, those using GQL-15 were 20.63 (6.00), 26.23 (9.12), and 28.43 (7.74), respectively, and for the SSQ, they were 74.33 (8.75) and 72.10 (5.92) in trabeculectomy and GDD groups, respectively. NEIVFQ-25 showed a better QoL in the GDD group compared to the medical group, whereas GQL-15 showed a better QoL in the medical group and comparable QoL in trabeculectomy and GDD. Both these QoL scores correlated to the LogMAR visual acuity. SSQ scores did not show a significant difference in the QoL across both surgical groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n NEIVFQ-25 questionnaire scores provided a holistic measure of QoL. GQL-15 assessed the activity limitation and visual disability of the patients but did not take into account the general health and psychological factors influencing the QoL. We did not find a significant difference between trabeculectomy and GDD using the SSQ. For QoL assessment in medically or surgically treated glaucoma, vision-specific and disease-specific questionnaires should always be used in conjunction.<\/jats:p>\n
