For anyone who likes Dark Mode, how do you find the readability compared to Light Mode?

I am probably one of the oldest members of this forum and I love dark mode. I find it to be easier on these old eyes. Just the other day I discovered dark mode on my Kindle. It's great to be able to read for longer times without the eyes getting tired. I use dark mode on all my devices...

If you don’t mind me asking, are you nearsighted or farsighted?

When I was younger, I was always near-sighted. But several years ago I had Cataract removal surgery and can now go without glasses except for reading. However, I had worn glasses since I was 7 and feel undressed without them. So I still wear glasses all the time. That is helpful if I need to read something.

My eyes really love dark mode. I can read much better

There are some downsides. It can be hard to tell windows apart when the 3D "shadow" is dark gray over underlying black windows. If your monitor crushes blacks a little or a lot, you'll lose a lot of the dark details and UI elements lose their borders. And other similar things
