Abstract. Background:It is very difficult for visually handicapped persons to remain in their jobs in present-day Japan. Purpose:To report 141 cases who received low vision care by us and who had problems related to employment during the past 7 years. The series comprised 104 males and 37 females. The age ranged from 18 to 64 years. Particular attention was paid to the support by organizations, agencies and patients' society. Results:Sixty-three visually handicapped persons(45%)received cooperation with organizations for the visually handicapped as well as with patients' association. Twenty-six cases(18%)received cooperation from the patients' association only. Out of these 89 cases, 42(47%)had not yet accepted the disabilities and contacted with“Association for Return-to-Work of the Blind and Vision-Impaired”. Twenty-eight cases(66%)remained in their prior job. Those who did not contact with the Association tended to lose their jobs. Conclusion:It is difficult for visually handicapped persons to stay in their former jobs when supported by doctors and medical institutions only. A close cooperation is desired with organizations that support or promote employment of the visually handicapped.
