Dark mode VS Light mode- Part 1
Friday, November 3, 2023
The default setting on most devices is to display black text on a white background. Setting your device to dark mode means that it will display white text on a dark background. Dark mode is intended to reduce blue light exposure and help with eye strain that comes with prolonged screen time.
While dark mode has a lot of advantages, it may not necessarily be better for your eyes. Your pupils would have to dilate when your device is in dark mode, making it more challenging to focus on whatever is on the screen. Your vision blurs when your pupils dilate. Under bright light, your pupils constrict and thus your vision sharpens, enabling you to focus better. Hence, you may find it tough to view screen details in dark mode.
