I don't know why but low contrast, dark themes strain my eyes more than their counter part.
Wondering if it's because I have astigmatisms in both eyes - I'm sure I've read somewhere that's the case but cannot remember where.
- geocar 10y agoI used to have astigmatism in both eyes. After three rounds of laser I don't. I throughout strongly prefer high contrast schemes -- indeed I don't like any syntax colouring at all. I'd like to see that article if you can find it. I admit as a sample size of one I might be aberrant but if not, then the effect you describe (if it exists) might have a neurological basis as well.
- jwdunne 10y agoI've found a layman's piece but there's more academic material too: http://www.allaboutvision.com/eye-exam/contrast-sensitivity.htm http://www.allaboutvision.com/eye-exam/contrast-sensitivity.... Also mentions that despite 20/20 vision from LASIK, contrast sensitivity may not return. I don't think we are alone :)
- psiclops 10y agoI prefer medium to high contrast. If it gets too low, it gets hard to read.
