Visual impairment

Visual impairments range from complete blindness and color blindness to refractive errors and age-related disorders. The web is a very visual medium and assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement tools, or refreshable braille displays can greatly narrow the digital divide. Nevertheless, these soluitions are still too costly, limiting the access opportunities of sensory-impaired users. A fully open and accessible browsing experience for all will only be a reality once these technologies are available for all.
