Accessibility statement
This site aims to let everyone — including people with disabilities — browse it comfortably and independently. Accessibility is part of the site itself, not an add-on — all the more so on an eye doctor's site.
Accessibility level
The site targets Israeli Standard SI 5568 (based on WCAG 2.0, level AA), and in fact aims higher — WCAG 2.1 level AA.
Measures taken
- A skip-to-content link on every page — go straight to the content without tabbing through the navigation.
- The current page is marked in the navigation for screen readers.
- Accessible error messages on the contact form, associated with the relevant field.
- Sufficient contrast for the form fields and for the keyboard focus indicator.
Accessibility features
- Text-size controls — three settings (A−, A, A+), remembered for your next visit.
- High-contrast mode — to increase the contrast between text and background.
- Full keyboard navigation — every link and button is reachable without a mouse, with a clear focus indicator.
- Semantic structure — ordered headings, navigation landmarks, and image alt text for screen readers.
- Colour contrast — text-to-background contrast meets AA.
- System preferences respected — the site honours reduced-motion requests (prefers-reduced-motion) and your browser's text-size setting.
- Core content works without JavaScript.
How the site was checked
We check accessibility both manually and with an automated tool (Lighthouse / axe).
Known limitations
The site is under construction and being expanded, so some parts may not be finished yet. Third-party elements — such as the map, which loads only when you click it — depend on that provider's accessibility. If you find something that isn't accessible, we'd like to know, so we can fix it.
Contact about accessibility
If you run into an accessibility problem, or have a suggestion, write to me. The site's accessibility coordinator is Dr. Shalhevet Goldfeather Ben Zaken, and I will reply within a few business days.
