This investigation conducted with people with acquired blindness sought the meaning of leisure to them, through interviews based on questionnaires compounded by an item of identification and eight questions leading to open answers. This same paper was based on Marcellino (1983, 1987, 1995, 2006) and his reflections on leisure as an experienced culture during an available time, Dumazedler (1973, 1980), focusing leisure on interests, and Blascovi-Assis (1997) who emphasizes the needed awareness of society as far as changing the universe of leisure. Making reference to visual impairment one sought to be based in authors such as Masini (1994, 2007), who discusses the importance of considering the person s perceptual referential with no sight, instead of comparing them with sighted people; on Palva (2005) and the resolution adopted by the International Council of Sidney about the related terms on visual impairment; on Farias and Buchalia (2005), who brought DSM-10 and FIC contributions (WHO 2003), complementing DSM-10 when tracing a functioning description. This work objective was to investigate the meaning of leisure to 10 people with acquired blindness and register how leisure activities have been occurring to this public, as well as verify the facilitating aspects and barriers to this experience. The guideline was analyzing if leisure activities propitiate well-being to people who acquired blindness. The interviews analysis happened in four phases: close reading of each participant s answers related to each question; classification in categories; answers categorization in charts; reflection on the data in the charts. The data analyzed showed that leisure to the subjects in the research means a possibility of well-being, by themselves or with others, once they do not feel unable to enjoy activities of such nature, since they consider the same activities as possible as they could be to the ones without visual impairment.
