Adults with visual impairments have different socio-demographic characteristics and influence the psychological changes that they experience throughout their lives due to loss of vision. This study was conducted to investigate the self-compassion, imaginations, decentering and psychological well-being of adults with visual impairments according to socio-demographic characteristics. The survey was conducted on 240 adults with visual impairments in S city. The results of this study are as follows. First, there were significant differences in self-compassion and its sub-factors by age, degree of disability and marital status.
