Website accessibility

Superior Vision has adopted the following Priority 1 Checkpoints of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG 1.0) (May 5 1999) published by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium: 1.1, 1.4, 2.1, 6.1, 1.2, 9.1, 5.1, 5.2, 12.1, 7.1, 11.4 as our website accessibility standard and are working to ensure that our website complies with that standard, as well as Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act.

We test content for accessibility during production and are constantly working to improve our website accessibility. Some of our current accessibility features include:

  • Method to skip repetitive navigation links.
  • Alternative text for images and other non-text elements.
  • Structural markup to indicate headings and lists (semantics) to aid in page comprehension.
  • Form fields with associated labels and error messages to assist with completing the form.
  • Markup is used to associate data and header cells. Association of all data cells in a data table with their headers and only using table structures for tabular data and not for layout design. All pages have page titles and title tags written for easy comprehension of the page content.
  • JavaScript and style sheets to enhance the appearance and functionality of the site. If these technologies are not available, our page design helps ensure graceful degradation.
  • We validate that all links and buttons can be accessed with a keyboard in a logical tab order and that all content is read by assistive technologies in the correct reading order.
  • Pages are designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.
  • When timed response is required, the user is alerted and given sufficient time to indicate more time is required.
  • Web pages are designed so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color.

Our website supports all the major browsers, including IE8 and above. It is best viewed with Java Script enabled.

PDF (Portable Document Format) files

Many of the documents on this site are in PDF format. Publications in PDF can be viewed and printed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader® or other PDF readers. We work to make our PDFs accessible for use with assistive technology such as screen readers like JAWS and NVDA. This includes “tagging” for alternate text in images, table headings in data tables, semantic structural elements like headings and lists and reading order. We also set the language and title attributes in the properties so assistive technologies know what language to use. If you encounter a PDF that you cannot read, please contact us.

If you do not already have a screen reader on your computer, there are free screen readers available online such as the open source NVDA screen reader.
