  • I have astigmatism, so dark mode is harder on the eyes when reading text. So, even though I like the aesthetics of dark mode, I need to use light mode to not put so much strain on my eyes.

    • Really? I have astigmatism and have the opposite experience. Do you know why it's more strain?

      • It has to do with halation. White text on a black background is blurrier than black text on a white background. There’s a nice accessibility description here.
