Dark Mode is Hurting Your Eyes like this!

Dark mode is vastly popular among tech-savvy users as it looks nicer and feels easier on the eyes in dark rooms. But it isn't that easy for our eyes to focus on light text on dark screens for a long time!
So bottom line, if you read or stare at text on your screens for hours, using dark mode isn't a very good idea in the long run.

I'm a software developer and I stopped using dark mode after my doctor noticed my use of dark mode for almost 18 hours a day. He also told me about negative polarity. Now I don't use dark mode. In reality I think it's a kind FOMO especially among software developers to use dark mode.

Yeah that's true... I was working in night shift 2 months ago so, thought of switching to dark mode, however, i started feeling more strain on my eyes.. hence switched to normal mode and reduced the brightness and the strain was gone... You Perfectly explained the cause in video bro🙌

pitch black background and bright text actually creates too much contrast which causes eye strain. the better way is to use greyish background or dark blue like twitter has three options pitch black, bluish, and white. i am graphic designer thats why i saying this.

I turned off the blue filter and i use dark mode, i dont use my phone at night. Also light mode makes my eyes feel like im staring at the sun.

Thanks brother. I didn't know that fact, and I just turned off my dark mode 😂

I feel that on YouTube particularly, while watching video/reading comments, the lighter right side where the suggested videos are, is putting a lot more strain on my right eye. So much so that if if I close my good left eye, all the text is blurry to my right one.

The solution to this is to turn on the blue light filter and turn the slider to the max, this will kill the blue light and also make the colors richer while ensuring it doesnt hurt your eyes. Also drag all the colors to the extreme right to warm on samsung phones to make the colors warmer.

I see the text after i look away and close my eyes 😢

I am software developer, i can't use dark mode, it might be something with me specifically but when i look at dark mode for more then an hour reading i start to see blinds in front of my eyes and at first i though there is something bad happening with me or my monitor, i tried updating drivers firmware anything. I went to the doctor, turns out i was frying my iris with the dark mode especially when reading, i have permanent damage to my eye now and can't use so yeah...thank you trend designers, there is special place in hell for you guys.

Does look nice aesthetically, i would not recommend it to junior developers, your health is more important then to be cool.

After using light mod for a long time and then when i switched to dark mode my eyes feels good and less hurt 😅

[RandomToastyJt]

Can anybody tell me why I feel more pain in my eyes when I use light mode? The pain is like, intense soreness and strain. I dunno why.

[balakrushnabehera]

Bro i am S/W developer and in early stage of my career. Thanks for getting me out of the dark mode myth 😜

[Pem]

yes. I am a Programmer .
and in dark mode, My eyes feel so tired .

[circuitousroad]

Hello mate.
The lyrics viewer of Spotify can be taken as an example. The brown background with bold white text doesn't strain your eyes. I hope you have noticed it already. I would say it's even better than the usual grey background.

For me light mode with the built in night light/eye comfort shield (kept to a minimum) works better than dark mode.

So do you use your phone in light mode all the time now? I’m kinda confused ‘cause I want to protect my eyes ‘cause I’m myopic. Please reply.

[saipatil]

I use the blue light filter instead of dark mode, my screen turns green. So, is it good or not?

[pandabeb]

I've a ques, reading book at pc is more dangerous or Reading very small comjusted letters in real books? Which has more demerits?

[Jaylord]

Do you still use loght mode up to now? Just incase your using iPhone, what is your thought about Reduce White Point? I find it useful when using light mode.

[harshanand]

Funny enough, I started using dark mode thanks to peer pressure. But later i realized dark mode is hardly helpful for me to read, so I switched back to light
