Individuals with visual impairments often do not receive adequate sexual health care. In order to improve their health, they need to be better informed. The purpose of this study was to assess the web-based sexual health education prepared for individuals with visual impairments regarding quality, content and usability. Views of 16 experts were taken to assess the web content and quality of the study. Of them, eight were nurses in sexuality and sexual health and eight were experts in education of individuals with visual impairments and Web Accessibility Criteria. In order to evaluate usability, the sample comprised 35 individuals with visual impairments who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the DISCERN Guide, Web-Based Sexual Health Education Web Content Evaluation Form, System Availability Scale and Website Evaluation Form for Individuals with Visual Impairments. The quality and content of the website were found appropriate (Respectively: Kendall’s W = 0.899, p = 0.000; Kendall’s W = 0.441, p = 0.000). The usability of the website was determined as high (x̄ ± SD = 97.00 ± 2.8). The most useful modules in the website were determined as sexual health and rights and human body and development. Web-based sexual health education for health professionals may be used as an education method for the individuals with visual impairments.
