Glaucoma Australia is a national charity established in 1986 that supports the needs of all glaucoma patients across Australia. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life for those with glaucoma and those at risk by promoting early detection and effective treatment via patient education, advocacy and research. The term “glaucoma” refers to a group of eye diseases that cause gradual damage to the optic nerve leading to preventable, but irreversible vision loss. Left untreated, glaucoma can progress to blindness.
With 1 in 50 Australians developing glaucoma in their lifetime, Glaucoma Australia needs to be equipped so any patient, regardless of their accessible needs, can use the superb assets that are at hand on their website. Glaucoma Australia accommodates all questions and queries regarding glaucoma with sections dedicated to what it is, living and treating glaucoma. So, having the Recite Me Accessibility software will be an essential step forward for their network.
The Recite Me Toolbar will enable an inclusive experience for patients and web visitors seeking advice and help with all things regarding glaucoma.
As well as having styling and customisation options for the visually impaired, the toolbar also comes equipped with a screen reader, an online translator with up to 65 text-to-speech languages and a selection of reading aids.
Richard Wyie, Glaucoma Australia CEO, commented
“Providing an inclusive and accessible website has always been important to us at Glaucoma Australia, but it hasn’t always been easy to achieve. Recite Me has not only helped us improve our accessibility tools, it has also added over 100 languages to our website allowing us to provide glaucoma information to even more Australians. Recite Me will continue to work with incredible charities such as Glaucoma Australia they can help everyone receive the guidance they need.”
