LASIK.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.
