Suicide is a phenomenon that represents a serious problem all over the world, regardless of the development of the country, geographical location or culture in which people live. Although the World Health Organization has emphasized the prevention of suicide in countries around the world, this phenomenon still occurs in an alarming percentage. The causes of committing suicide are numerous and complex, but the most significant factors that influence the incidence of suicide are: age, gender, socioeconomic status, perception of one's own health, presence of mental health disorders and quality of life. People with impaired vision, compared to people without disabilities, are at a significantly higher risk of committing suicide precisely because of the challenges that the impairment itself brings with it in everyday life (e.g. difficulties in performing daily activities, taking care of one's own psychophysical health and achieving a fulfilling social life ). The purpose of this thesis is: an overview of the previously known scientific and professional knowledge about people who are visually impaired as a population more prone to commit suicide and suicidal symptoms compared to the sighted population, a more detailed insight into the mental health of visually impaired people and the impact of impaired mental health on suicidality, then an overview of the most significant factors the risk of suicide in this population and the comparison of the influence of these factors within the population itself, as well as more specific methods of prevention and the role of different types of experts in the prevention of suicide among visually impaired people. Among the most important forms of suicide prevention in the population of visually impaired people is certainly raising awareness in the closest environment, but also the cooperation of experts, early detection and recognition of symptoms, and an adequate response to observed symptoms in the form of further referral and provision of appropriate rehabilitation programs that would improve the quality of life in this population.
