Wait, is this why I've stopped liking dark mode? I was diagnosed with astigmatism a few years ago. Never connected the two until now.
I find it physically unpleasant to look at during daylight hours, in a way I can't explain to my coworkers.
- aquariusDue 3y agoAs a counter example I too suffer from astigmatism and I prefer dark themes with high contrast. Sometimes I'll pick a theme that doesn't exactly vibe color wise just for the high contrast otherwise it's hard to focus, both mentally and actually reading what's on the screen. I also zoom in most websites, UIs, code editors and the terminal, so take my personal experience as just another point and nothing definitive.
- shaan7 3y agoYep it is quite possible. For me the realization wasn't until the doctor specifically pointed it out that no lens will 100% correct Astigmatism. Then I googled around and read that dark text on light bg is much easier because the ghosting is less pronounced. I miss my white-on-black Terminal though :(
