Dark mode hurts my eyes. My vision is still good enough for black on white background text but the inverse colors make it physically hurt when I try to read the same text in the same font size due to the slight astigmatism that I have.

Interestingly I developed astigmatism over a few short days when I was under a lot of mental trauma. Not sure if that was causal or just coincident. Can a serious emotional shock damage eyesight?
