Abstract: Background: Visually impaired individuals face significant challenges in accessing information that can limit their educational, economic, and social opportunities. Technologies such as screen readers can help, but they may not be suitable for everyone. Chatbots offer a promising alternative, as they can provide personalized information and support them socially. Goal of Study: We aimed to discuss how ChatGPT can help visually impaired individuals. Methods: We conducted a review study to evaluate the effectiveness of ChatGPT as a practical tool for visually impaired individuals. The first version of the ChatGPT was used. Also, ChatGPT has answered several relevant questions. Results: ChatGPT was highly influential in creating accurate responses to user input and can help visually impaired individuals. Furthermore, ChatGPT can help blind people think about visual scenarios since ChatGPT can describe visual plans quickly. It can support them socially and emotionally. Conclusion: ChatGPT has the potential to help visually impaired individuals access information more effectively. Future studies should investigate how ChatGPT can help visually impaired individuals.
Key words: ChatGPT, visually impaired individuals, chatbots, artificial intelligence, blindness.
