So this is interesting!

This site allows you to either use a sliding scale or put in hex codes to define colour for both background and text, as well as determine text font size and thickness, and every combination is graded for accessibility for people with #cataracts, #glaucoma, and various kinds of #colourblindness.

You can "see" how that person would see your website.

A fail means that the color combo offers some visual strain and should be avoided if possible.

I don't object to dead tree books; I struggle to read them due to my visual #disability.

Books are #books and people should #read.

The why I read #audiobooks is below. If you were looking for an argument about planetary impact by book format, that's down the hall and on your left.

If this isn't the answer you were looking for, you can go about your business. Move along, move along.

I was born with #cataracts and I grew up with the #TalkingBook program through the American Printing House ... as an adult, I was kicked off of government assistance due to my sight measuring at 20/50 (this was an error; see below. I live in #Texas and ...). The error is, in restoring my sight to low-end normal, they cleaned out the innards of my eyes. I have no organic lenses and no support structures that could accommodate implants. All the ability to focus is in my eyeglasses. It's like having a telescope that you can't adjust - I have "distance" vision at the top and "reading" in the bifocal insert. And they're a special type of lens that even my workplace's vision plan does not cover. So yes, I technically see 20/50, but only what I'm directly looking at. To look at anything, I have to turn my entire head.

Intraocular lenses replace natural ones that have #cataracts. Cataracts are when natural lenses become clouded, and can get to the point of blindness.

This summer I'm going on a vision care project for people who nomally can't afford it. Your donation to the #philatelyforgood #eyeprojectfundraiser will help provide this healthcare to these people. Give a donation or share this post to win this and other stamps! Visit https://cachetscanada.wixsite.com/forgood for info and how to get a project postcard or cachet.

I'd only vaguely heard of MrBeast before, but this sounds like an incredibly impactful effort that could make a huge difference in people's lives. Bravo! #A11y #Blind #Cataracts

Had to drive over the #OhioRiver from #AppalachianOhio into #Kentucky for an #eye #exam.

I have #cataracts in both eyes.

Surprised, because I am 51 yrs-old, the #BabyBoomer eye doctor leaned towards me and through his tobacco-stained white mustache, his rosy lips, with slight blue discoloration, uttered, 'Mr. Chambers, you're not a young man anymore."

I‘ve been off of social media recently for a number of reasons, not least my early onset #cataracts, a consequence of longterm #prednisone use because of #lupus, are making reading increasingly difficult. I hope I can get operated and get new lenses in the spring. Going to get new glasses for the few months til then and drop a lot of €€€ for a bit of comfort and minor improvement. Grateful for any tips from people who have gone through this. 💕

My plans for next year are already looking a little rocky - it looks like I'll be having cataract surgery!

This is good and bad. Good because with the new lenses, I'll get close to 20/20 vision for the first time in my life. Bad... because that's writing time that I'll be spending recuperating.

At least they do one eye at a time.

My husband joked that since I have cataracts, that must mean I have huge waterfalls in my eyes.

@notwhatwethink This is great news. Hope the research pans out.

One of the wrongest things in #Ireland is that #ophthalmic #consultants are becoming rich by treating #cataracts privately. This is normally a 20-minute operation that doesn't need a general anaesthetic. If the consultants went #public, the #waitinglist would be cleared within a few months

I've been taking 4-10 eye drops a day for over a month now (because of eye surgeries). I STILL can't get the damned things in my eye half the time.
