BACKGROUND: @entity231 and @entity726 are both common conditions and are often present in the same @entity1 . The incidence of these diseases increases with age. Besides vision impairment, these diseases are associated with decrement in quality of life (QOL). OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of phacoemulsification surgery on various parameters in @entity1 with @entity726 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: We enrolled 50 eyes of 36 @entity1 with @entity726 and concomitant @entity231 scheduled for phacoemulsification @entity231 surgery . A record was made which included number of anti- @entity726 medications, visual acuity (VA), @entity2790 ( @entity2790 ), @entity8707 ( @entity8707 ), @entity231 category/grade, @entity227 ( @entity227 ) analysis ( @entity5494 ( @entity5494 ) and pattern standard deviation (PSD) and responses to Indian visual function questionnaires (IND-VFQ). The @entity1 were re-evaluated at one month after @entity231 extraction and the above parameters were again obtained to compare them with the firs values. RESULTS: The mean age of the @entity1 was 66.34 yrs    7.96; 10 eyes (20 %) had angle closure and 40 (80 %) had @entity1538 . Following @entity231 extraction, VA improved, @entity2790 decreased, number of @entity726 medications decreased and AC depth increased. The @entity227 analysis showed that the improvement in @entity5494 was significant while changes in PSD were not. The improvements seen in the visual function questionnaires (VFQ) were significant. When these parameters were analyzed based on the types of @entity726 , in the @entity2747 ( @entity2747 ) group, the decrease of @entity2790 from 15.30    6.18 to 12.70    2.71 was not significant ( p = 0.24). In the @entity1538 ( @entity1538 ) group, the changes in the number of anti- @entity726 medication were not significant. When the parameters were analyzed in subgroups, based on @entity231 category, @entity1463 and posterior sub-capsular, the VA improved significantly in both and the @entity5494 improved in the posterior sub-capsular surgery. Improvement in VFQ's was observed in denser nuclear sclerotic and posterior subcapsular @entity231 . CONCLUSION: @entity231 extraction results in significant improvement in vision, @entity2790 reduction, decrease in the number of medications, deepening of AC and in the quality of life in @entity1 with co-existing @entity726 when the @entity231 is of significant density.
