Well, per my eye doctor's instructions, I do not use "dark mode".
Think of "dark mode" as a drug, it feels right so "how can it be wrong?", but then check how it's effected your vision a decade from now.
Those were my eye doctor's exact words. But like politics, it's probably one of those things that even eye doctors are split 50-50.

Do you have those "lines" (even if a different color) when *NOT* using "dark mode" ???

How does dark mode affect your vision? I've been with glasses for the better part of a decade, and since like iOS 13 (2019), i've used dark mode on the daily (except on this forum), and I don't see any vision problems.

I'm *NOT* claiming this to be "true for all". ASK YOUR OWN EYE DOCTOR.
I did read a sh#tTon when my eye doctor told me this, because I DID NOT BELIEVE HIM !!!
From "inconclusive" to outright BIASED to riding the fence with no real conclusion.
I went as far as getting a SECOND OPINION and that doctor TOLD ME THE SAME THING.

Again, ask your own eye doctor.
Do some research and be sure to read BOTH SIDES. "Been there, done that."
I did not believe my eye doctor. You may very well not believe yours either, lol.

My own theory is that there comes a point where the DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE, so it no longer matters anyway so just keep on "darking it".
