The formation of romantic relationships is an integral part of social development in adolescence. Meeting potential partners is a process that precedes the formation of romantic relationships. Preferences for certain characteristics when choosing a partner are used to assess whether a certain person is a more desirable potential partner compared to other people, and the sense of sight plays an important role in this assessment process. However, considering that adolescents with visual impairment due to the nature of their impairment cannot fully rely on visual information when choosing a potential partner, their perception of desirable characteristics may differ from the perception of desirable characteristics of potential partners among their sighted peers. The aim of this work is to gain insight into the potential differences in the perception of the desirable characteristics of potential partners among visually impaired adolescents with regard to their gender and degree of visual impairment. Also, this work aims to determine some features of the romantic relationships of visually impaired adolescents, as well as gain insight into their perception of knowledge in the field of sexuality. Twelve adolescents with visual impairment between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one participated in this research. The participants are visually impaired students who attend the regular high school program or the high school education program at the Center for Rehabilitation and Education "Vinko Bek". For the purpose of the research, data were collected using the Important characteristics in a romantic partner - questionnaire and self-constructed statements and questions. The results were processed at a descriptive level using the standard Statistical Package for Social Research. The results of this research showed that adolescents with visual impairment share a similar perception of the "ideal partner" and they consider more important the qualities of a potential partner that do not require a visual assessment, although certain differences were observed with regard to gender and the degree of visual impairment in the perception of the importance the physical appearance of the partner, as well as regarding the consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. Also, differences were observed regarding the experience of a romantic relationship. Adolescent girls compared to adolescent boys, as well as partially sighted adolescents compared to blind, have more experience in romantic relationships. Furthermore, adolescents with visual impairment believe that they are sufficiently educated about areas related to sexuality, and they cite the family as the most common source of information about sexuality. Although the results of this research cannot be generalized to the entire population of visually impaired adolescents due to the relatively small sample, they are still significant because they provide us an insight into possible differences and similarities among visually impaired adolescents in the field of romantic relationships, perception of desired traits and sexual development in visually impaired adolescents.
