Glaucoma Australia

Glaucoma Australia is an Artamon-based charity which was established as a full corporation in 1999. Since then, Glaucoma Australia has become a leader in the space due to their expertise, and creditability on the topic. With over $ 1 million donated to the research of glaucoma, Glaucoma Australia hopes that the 21st century will eventually provide a cure for this eye disease for all.

Our Brief

Glaucoma Australia was founded with 3 aims which would be integral to all their efforts. This would include increasing the community’s awareness of glaucoma, providing information for glaucoma patients and their families as well as developing resources for financial research. With a heavy reliance on communicating this to a  visually impaired community, how was Glaucoma Australia going to do this inclusively? In truth, The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported that 13 million Australians in 2021 have one or more chronic (long-term) eye conditions. So, an inclusive solution for Glaucoma Australia’s resources was needed. 

Our Solution

This solution came in the form of Recite Me’s award-winning accessibility toolbar.

Not only does the Recite Me software assist people with visual impairments, but, all disabilities can be catered for with options to customise colours and stylisation as well as reading aids, a screen reader and an online translator with 65 text-to-speech voices.

With the new addition of the Recite Me Checker, Glaucoma Australia will be able to ensure its digital platform is accessible and usable for a fully inclusive experience.
