Used dark (not black) themes everywhere for 8 years. My eyesight is still good according to my annual physical, but recently I've noticed that I have a hard time reading text written on a dark background. It is slightly blurred, especially when there is no light in the room.
Somewhere I still use dark themes, but I always try to switch to light mode if things look okay with code highlighting or smth.
Physical? As in a medical exam with a doctor?
If so you should really have a check up with an eye doctor, there are lots of eye health tests that you should regularly get beyond checking that you can read a chart at a distance.
This right here, guy is like "I can't see the light shooting at my eyes, but every thing is okay otherwise, I'll just live with it."
That's unfortunately what a lot of ophtalmologist (and other medical doctors) end up saying when they don't know what's wrong with you.
They do, I really hear you. I don't bother going to a doctor for the exhausting fatigue.
But with eyes not seeing well after 8 years of looking at a screen, you're not an odd case, you're the same as half of the society. It's either short sightedness, far sightedness or astigmatism.
For me, it’s light mode for work and dark mode at home.
