TIL that dark mode can actually hurt some people's eyes more

I was building a new site and had this developer tell me dark mode was always better for accessibility. Then I ran into a user in a forum who gets bad astigmatism flare from white text on black backgrounds. Has anyone else run into cases where the usual "accessible" choice backfires?

Oh man I heard dark mode can actually make floaters more visible for some people.

Guess I'll just stare at my floaters in high definition now, thanks dark mode.
