I developed eye floaters about a year ago that are annoyingly noticeable against any page with a white background. The Dark Reader extension (https://darkreader.org/) has been a life saver for me, and I've found my eyes to be less tired overall when using it, too.

My only wish now is for a way to invert PDF colors on Mac - I haven't found a good way to do that short of inverting all screen colors, which messes up all the other apps that do have a dark/night mode.

havnt tested on a mac but I use zathura on linux and its reverse colors (cntrl+r) is a lifesaver for me.

this seems promising: https://github.com/zegervdv/homebrew-zathura

Wow, that looks perfect, thanks!
I would have my retinas checked by a retina specialist. Floaters may indicate retina issues that may lead to retina detachment. If caught early there are better options for remedy.
I've seen several doctors who have confirmed that it's not a serious issue... All the treatments I've heard of have a higher likelihood of side effects than I'm willing to risk to fix something that's just an annoyance.
