Cataract.com.ph > Accessibility
The Ophthalmic Consultants
Philippines Co. believe very strongly that
the information on our website should be easy to
access by anyone. This covers both making the
site as 'user-friendly' as possible, and
ensuring it is suitable for those with sight
(LOW VISION) problems.
Although the site contains over 200 pages of
information, we have created clear and
consistent navigation, with main sections
available on every page.
We have also made sure that this website
complies with all relevant standards, so that
information is available to those using
non-standard browsers. We have been
particularly careful to ensure that the
text-size across the whole of the site can be
adjusted, to help those with low vision. We
have also been careful to choose colors which
provide enough contrast that the content remains
readable by color-blind visitors, and have
tested this using color filters.
These instructions will help you increase the
text size of the web page you are viewing either
by increasing the text size of your web browser
(Internet Explorer or Netscape) or by magnifying
your computer's display.
