Accessibility
Many of our patients have low vision, so this website was built to be readable before anything else. This page says what the site does for you, and what to do if part of it does not work.
What this site does for you
- The text starts at 18 px, larger than on most websites.
- Every text and background pairing meets the WCAG 2.1 AA contrast standard, and colour never carries meaning on its own.
- The typeface is Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed by the Braille Institute to keep similar letters and numbers distinct.
- Every link and button is at least 44 px tall, so it is easy to tap.
- Everything works with a keyboard, and the focus outline stays visible.
- Pinch zoom on your phone is never blocked.
- Opening hours appear in words with a clock icon, never as colour or an image alone.
- Photos carry text descriptions, and headings are in order for screen readers.
Making the text bigger
3 buttons sit in the top bar of every page, labelled A, A+ and A++. They set the text to normal, larger or largest, and a screen reader announces them that way. Your choice is remembered on the device you are using.
Two parts we do not build
Online booking happens on the eVisionCare patient portal, a separate service the practice does not build. The map on Contact and hours comes from Google, and it loads only when you press a button. Neither one is ours, so either may work differently from this site.
Getting into the clinic and the exam room
The clinic is wheelchair accessible. The entrance is at street level, with no steps from where you park to the door.
Our exam rooms are built to measure glasses prescriptions from a specific distance from the exam chair. A glasses prescription from our doctors will be most accurate if you are able to transfer directly into the exam chair. Otherwise, we will gladly work with you, and would love to know if there is specific support that would make your visit smoother.
If something does not work
If any part of this site is hard to use, call (905) 433-2015 or email info@oshawaoptometry.com. We will help over the phone, including booking your visit.
