The Eye Five

Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust believes very strongly that the information on our website should be easy to access by anyone. However, certain design decisions have taken into account that our target audience are amblyopic children aged 3 to 8 years.

Meeting Standards

Alternative Text

We use alternative (alt) text labels on all the graphics on the website. These appear as you hover over the graphic with a mouse and provide a description of the graphic which can be read in screen readers.

Links

All text links have been written so that they make sense when read out of context (eg by screen readers).

Colours
