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.
