Not inconsequential. Dark mode is unpleasant to read for people with astigmatism. That's 1/3rd of the US.

[-] Bongles@lemmy.zip 26 points 4 days ago

I have that in both eyes and I still prefer dark mode.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 3 days ago

That's depends on levels of astigmatism tbf, dark mode is pretty an accessibility issue

[-] proudblond@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

. . . Shit. Do I need to change away from dark mode? I highly prefer it but I do have mild astigmatism…

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 11 points 4 days ago

Do what you prefer, my friend. I also am cursed with astigmatism but much prefer dark mode.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 3 days ago

Nah not really, it won't make it wkrse or anything, it's just that some astigmatic people have more problems with dark mode or it's straight up unuseable

people with astigmatism

...and no proper glasses?

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Astigmatic people can still have some issues with glasses, especially ones with more acute astigmatism

Eg:

It isn't this strong for everyone, ofc

Night time without corrective lenses is so pretty. Every light is a wide star, cars ahead are two red stars overlapping

[-] Catatonic0658@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

What? I have astigmatism and never ever had this problem.

[-] magikmw@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Got both eye astigmatism and glasses for 20 years, dark mode forever.

My lemmy is AMOLED black with blue text, no difficulty at all

Contrast is what matters.
