Improving Web Accessibility for KC-sufferers

Postby HenryG » Tue 18 May 2010 2:47 am

Hi All,

I got KC, my right eye is relatively messed up. Left eye is kinda ok.
My vision is OK for most of the time - but as soon as I get tired everything goes very fuzzy. I also have narcolepsy so i feel very sleepy from time to time.

Anyway, I am also a part-time webdesigner, and way before my KC became noticeable I always enjoyed the subject of "web accessibility".
Like making websites a bit friendlier to people with poorer vision, or no vision, or other obstacles as well ie repetitive-strain-injuries, etc

My newest project was updating a GUM Clinic in London. Which I eventually want to be make very accessible.

I want it to make more KC-friendly also, any ideas?

I am still working on it (slowly though in my own pace) Your views are welcome. I will be adding more drawings also (cliparts).

On my own website I wrote something about my first encounter with Keratoconus.
Just one page, nothing fancy though, something I wanted to share.
