Accessibility glossary

Low vision

Reduced vision that isn’t correctable with glasses, affecting how people perceive text, contrast, and layout.

Low-vision users may enlarge text, increase contrast, or use magnification. Supporting them means sufficient contrast, text that scales to 200%, content that reflows, and not relying on color alone.
