About Laura
Laura is a 64 year old woman that suffers from cataracts. Her condition causes her to have blurry vision and a high sensitivity to light. Without surgery she struggles to see and this becomes even harder when she tries to read an article online.

To solve this problem and be able to use her laptop and/or navigate the internet, Laura must use screen-reader technologies such as JAWS, NVDA or Window Eyes for Windows, Voice Over for MacOS devices or Chrome Vox for Chrome devices.
