The human society as whole derives the position of its particular members within its own structures depending on their potential contributions and opportunities. These potential contributions and opportunities are particularly achieved by education.
The target of the work was to find whether the measure of the qualification (education) and potential opportunities of individuals with handicapped sight are directly proportional to the measure of the positivity which exerts the society in its attitude to these individuals, and whether the potential contribution and opportunity can be one of ways in individuals with handicapped sight making them possible to achieve a positively considered position in structures of the society.
Positive effects of the qualification and occupational opportunities on the quality of life of individuals with sight handicaps are conclusively considered.
Of course, the human society considers the requirements for education as obvious facts and thus, it seems to loss its general validity.
A similar obviousness is then in a general social consideration of the negativity of the life reality of individuals with sight handicaps. Long living with permanent irreparable damage to the sight is of course negative.
The fact is also obvious that this negative situation is very non-standard, which leads to a frequently occurring concept that the generally recognized human knowledge is not applicable to the members of this group.
