The aim of this study is to examine the anxiety and subjective well-being levels of individuals between the ages of 18-30, whose mothers and fathers are visually impaired but they don’t have any disabilities by their own. 50 individuals were participated in the study whose both of their parents are visually impaired. Research data were collected using the Beck Anxiety and Subjective Well-being Scale and SPSS software was used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, no significant difference was found in terms of anxiety level according to the congenital status of the mother / father visual impairment, but a significant difference was found in terms of subjective well-being only compared to the congenital state of the mother's visual impairment. In addition, a negative, weak and significant relationship was found between individuals' anxiety and subjective well-being levels. It is thought that supporting the children of visually impaired parents from birth will play a protective role for the high anxiety that may be seen in the future.
