I think too often people take vision in general for granted in website design. Case in point: take a look at http://atmail.com/support.php#search. It amazes me that they use such a light colored font for the heading sections of each article. As someone who suffers from poor eye sight I can tell you that this site is a pain in the butt! The wide use of flat panel displays magnifies the problem as many lower cost flat panel displays distort color and blend lighter areas together more... Webistes that are designed well will typically include things like well contrasted text colors and a tool to enlarge print for those of us who cannot read the smaller type on a 1600 + pixel display.
