A qualitative study design was conducted over the course of 10 months among institutionalized visually impaired individuals. A semi-structured interview was conducted among the participants. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, translated, and qualitatively analyzed using MAXQDA software, version 22.0 (VERBI Software, Berlin). A total of 20 participants participated in the study.Three levels were used to classify the investigated barriers: the individual's level, which pertains to the obstacles they encountered in receiving oral health care and their viewpoints on the way that care is provided;the interpersonal degree and the system level, in order to determine the broader components and their impact. This study gives insight into the problems people have in assessing the dental services and facilities available.Three levels were used to identify the barriers among the study participants.
