Accessibility statement
YourEye.org is designed to be usable by as many people as possible, including people with low vision.
Our commitment
A website about eyes must work for people who see less well. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.
Features
- Display options (the Aa button at the top of every page): larger or smaller text, a high-contrast theme and reduced motion. Your choice is remembered on your device.
- A skip link to jump straight to the main content
- Full keyboard navigation with visible focus outlines
- Text alternatives and labels for images, charts and form fields
- Layouts that reflow on small screens and when zoomed to 200%
- Videos that load only on request, with captions available in the YouTube player
Known limitations
Some checks are visual by nature, such as the color vision screener, Amsler grid and contrast check, and cannot be fully accessible to people who are blind or have very low vision. Each check explains what it measures, and our condition guides and matching service are fully usable with screen readers.
Feedback
If something on the site is hard to use, tell us through the contact form with the subject “Accessibility”, including the page and the device or assistive technology you use. We aim to respond within five business days.
