One Blind Weekend
summary
A developer loses usable vision for a weekend after a corneal abrasion and survives the web using VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS, prompting concrete fixes: use semantic HTML (real headings, labels, alt text), expose interactive widgets to the DOM and add aria landmarks, avoid styling headings as decoration, don’t rely on infinite scroll (offer “load more” or pagination), ensure contrast and zoom, and label links/buttons properly. Notes that ~9% of men are colorblind and that these small changes measurably improve real usability.
