That’s wild. Mines a lack of living retina cells from retinitis pigmentosa. I need bright light to see, but bright light causes glare.

I’m guessing hard contacts not helping anymore or not an option? Have a buddy who is maintaining his vision that way.

I'm technically waiting until my vision stabilizes after an operation to get contacts. So it's not quite that bad yet.

I've read that other people prefer dark themes, but for me that doesn't quite work. Something about the light letters glaring (as opposed to the background) just doesn't sit right.

Needless to say, the current era of sleek black/dark apps and dark themes being hip in dev tools is not fun. I do miss them though.
