Dark mode isn't as good for your eyes as you believe

Dark mode has gained popularity for its aesthetic appeal and supposed health benefits, such as reducing eye strain and conserving battery life. However, evidence suggests it may not significantly reduce eye strain or improve readability for most people and could even make text harder to read due to lower contrast in certain conditions. For OLED screens, dark mode does save battery life by deactivating black pixels. Although dark mode might be more comfortable in low-light environments, it is not proven to aid concentration or minimize distractions effectively. Limiting screen time remains the best solution for eye health and better sleep.
