This qualitative research paper explores the challenges faced by students with visual impairments in online learning during the current pandemic situation. Interview method was employed to collect qualitative data from university students with visual impairments (n=4), through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was used for analyzing the data. Findings revealed that incorporation of technology is very important in the education of these learners with diverse needs including computer access; assistive technology; web accessibility and related applications being used during online learning like zoom, google meet etc. In addition, motivation, encouragement and institutional support are also important factors. Major challenges identified include problems of funding; related assistive technology resources; relative limitations of students living with visual impairments during on-line learning; negative effects of technology on learning; health of students with visual impairments and false over-expectations by teachers and peers resulting from common myths regarding people with visual impairments. It is recommended that diverse learning needs of students with visual impairments should be considered while designing online learning material by making it accessible in order to ensure equal learning opportunities
