Health literacy is important at an individual and organisational level aiming at eliminating barriers and promoting equal opportunities for the visually impaired (SDG 10: Reduced inequality within and among countries). This study reveals that visually impaired individuals experience outsiderness in education and working life. The study also demonstrates the challenges and opportunities in participating in education and working life for the visually impaired in the future. The study provides important knowledge on how to strengthen good health and well-being (SDG 3: Good health and well-being) and promote quality education and life-long learning opportunities for the visually impaired (SDG 4: Quality education).
