This study explores the employment experience of acquired visually impaired under the Ecological System Theory. The perspectives of visually impaired personal system, family system and workplace system are analyzed by conducting in-depth interviews of 5 acquired visually impaired, 5 family members or close friend and 5 colleagues. The results reveal that in adapting to visual impairment, both psychological rehabilitation of the micro-system and family support of the meso-system are important in the first place. Outside supporting resources of the macro-system will assist adaptation smoothly. With regard to vocational rehabilitation, detecting work skill of the micro-system, family support of the meso-system and employers’ accommodation and government supporting resources of the macro-system will provide more options of choice. In the work site, colleagues’ support and resources of job accommodation of the macro-system will alleviate potential obstacles. Concerning changing jobs, the general perception of visual impaired and friendly work environment of the macro-system are critical.
