Accessibility

My Eye Doctor is built for everyone, including people with low vision, blindness and other disabilities. Here is how we make our site accessible, and how to get help.

  • Works With A Keyboard

    Every link, filter and form works without a mouse.

  • Screen Reader Friendly

    Clear headings, labels and spoken updates.

  • Zoom To 200%

    Pages reflow neatly when you make text bigger.

  • Clear Contrast

    Dark text on light backgrounds, never color alone.

  • Respects Reduce Motion

    Animations switch off when your device asks.

  • Help Another Way

    Can't use a page? Email us and we'll help.

Our Commitment

My Eye Doctor helps people find eye care, and many of our visitors have low vision, blindness or other disabilities. We want everyone to be able to search for eye doctors, read our guides and request appointments, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they use.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, the standard widely used by US, UK and European accessibility laws and guidance. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we keep improving our site as we add new pages and features.

How We Make Our Site Accessible

AreaWhat we do
KeyboardEvery link, button, filter, tab and form can be used with a keyboard alone, with a clear outline showing where you are.
Screen readersWe use proper headings, landmarks, labels and descriptions, and announce live updates such as search results and form messages.
ImagesMeaningful images have text alternatives. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
Text and zoomText uses relative sizes, so pages work when zoomed to 200% and reflow on small screens without sideways scrolling.
Color and contrastWe use dark text on light backgrounds and never rely on color alone to show meaning, such as urgent warnings.
MotionAnimations are small and gentle. If you turn on reduce motion on your device, our animations switch off.
TouchButtons and links are large enough to tap easily on phones and tablets.
FormsFields have visible labels, clear instructions and error messages that explain how to fix a problem.
Plain languageWe write our guides in clear, simple English and explain medical terms.

Browsers And Assistive Technology

Our site is built to work with recent versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge on desktop and mobile, and with common assistive technology, including:

  • Screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack
  • Screen magnifiers and browser zoom
  • Voice control and speech recognition software
  • Keyboard-only and switch navigation

Known Limitations

We're honest about the areas we're still working on:

  • Doctor-supplied content. Photos, descriptions and documents sent by practices may not always include full text alternatives. We add them when we can
  • Third-party content. Embedded maps, videos and links to other websites are controlled by other companies and may not be fully accessible. Our Contact page always shows our address as text too
  • Vision simulator. This tool is visual by nature. Each simulation has a written description beside it, so screen reader users get the same information
  • Older blog posts. Some older articles may not meet every standard yet, and we're reviewing them

Need Help Or An Alternative Format?

If anything on our site is hard to use, we'll help another way:

  • We can send information from any page by email in plain text
  • If you can't use our appointment request form, email us the doctor's name and your preferred times, and we'll pass your request to the office
  • We can help you find doctors by specialty, location or insurance by email

Email info.myeyedoctor@gmail.com with "Accessibility" in the subject. Please tell us the page address, what you were trying to do and what technology you use, if you're comfortable sharing. We aim to reply within 2 business days and to fix reported problems as quickly as we can.

For an eye emergency, don't email us. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Low Vision Resources

If you or someone you care for has low vision, these organizations offer trusted information and support:

Ask your eye doctor about a low vision exam. Our directory can help you find one.

How We Check Accessibility

We check new pages and features with keyboard-only testing, screen reader spot checks, automated accessibility tools, zoom and reflow tests, and checks on real phones and tablets. We review this statement whenever we make significant changes, and at least once a year.
