AB The aim of the paper is to describe the selected determinants of digital inclusion in students with visual impairment in tertiary education. The research sample consisted of 54 students - respondents diagnosed with low vision, residual vision, practical and complete blindness from the Czech and Slovak Republic. By using mathematical and statistical methods, we have found that the visually impaired students evaluate the accessibility of electronic study materials in the first year of their university studies as worse compared to the visually impaired students in higher years. At the same time, by applying the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, we confirmed that there is a significant relation between the satisfaction of visually impaired students with the services of support centres at public universities and their expression of satisfaction with accessibility of electronic study materials.
