When the parents learn that their child has a vision handicap, they experience a range of emotions. Psychological adaptation is a complex and dynamic process during which parents use different coping strategies and adapt to the child's functional limitations caused by visual impairment. This study looked at how visually impaired parents adjusted to their child's visual impairment in comparison to non-visually impaired parents. The study involved 46 parents of visually impaired children, of whom 11 were visually impaired parents and 35 were parents without impaired vision. The newly developed questionnaire Adaptation to the Child's Visual Impairment, Visually Impaired Parents Compared to Parents Without Impaired Vision was utilized for the purposes of this study. The collected data were analyzed in the computer statistical program IBM SPSS 23.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The results of this research indicate a better adaptation to the child's visual impairment of parents with impaired vision compared to parents without impaired vision. Both groups of parents showed a better immediate adaptation to the child's visual impairment after a certain period of time. Although, visually impaired parents reported poorer support from their partners and a greater sense of guilt for their child's visual impairment. In addition, parents with non-impaired vision expressed more concern for their child's future. These results point to the need to focus attention on the psychological problems of parents of visually impaired children. It is important to provide professional support to parents so that they do not feel alone in situations of finding out the diagnosis and systematic support during the upbringing of a visually impaired child.
