We have several sight-challenged players at Karinth, and each has provided crucial input which is helping us tune the UI for this purpose. Try playing your game with a blindfold or no monitor and see how it responds. It's amazing what pitfalls this will reveal and how clever you have to get to overcome them. One of our biggest pitfalls is a massive wilderness. The work-around, to suppress the constant overhead, is brief mode - and some people find that this works well.
We have witnessed dramatic improvement in literacy and grasp of English by many ESL players over the years. I encourage every game's admin staff to take whatever steps they need to take to make sure that each bit of text is grammatically correct, spell-checked and understandable. After all, we're all about reading!
