I'm 49 and can literally watch (pun intended) how my capability to focus in the near field gets worse and worse. I've been using dark themes in the terminal for 25 years and for a couple of years tried to use dark mode also in other software as much as possible.
After reading this I really wonder if I did myself a disservice and if I shouldn't change to light mode again.
Does anyone know of more sources on this topic? And also if the effect can be reversed or at least slowed with going back to light again?

Thanks for digging a bit. Interestingly, your source actually points towards dark mode being safer long term. My gripe with the parent is that it implies dark mode use risks damage (the lens becoming less scrunchable). I am unable to find any literature that alludes to this.
