The current study was planned to reveal the levels of smiling depression and the sense of coherence among people with visual impairments in Jordan and to detect the correlation between them. The study sample consisted of (123) individuals with visual impairments who have an average level of depression or more on the Beck depression scale; (54) were males and (69) were females. The study used the descriptive approach to achieve its goals, the second Beck list (BDI - ii), the smiling depression scale, and the sense of coherence scale were utilised. The study's findings demonstrated that the overall level of smiling depression among individuals with visual impairments in Jordan was medium. And that those who have visual impairments generally have a high level of sense of coherence. The findings also suggested that there were no statistically significant differences related to the level of smiling depression in relation to the variables (gender, marital status, educational level). Still, there were statistically significant differences related to the variable (severity of impairment) for people with visual impairments. In terms of a sense of coherence, there were no statistically significant differences related to the variables (gender, and marital status). However, there were statistically significant differences at the level of sense of cohesion due to the variable (severity of disability) for the people with total visual impairment, and others due to the variable educational level for those with postgraduate qualifications. Furthermore, there was a weak inverse correlation between smiling depression and a sense of coherence. Keywords: Smiling Depression, Sense of Coherence, People with Visual Impairment.
