I might be at a loss here, but I cannot use dark-themed webpages. They are totally blurred and unreadable for me...
My only hope is that light-themed documents will be kept
That’s because everyone is different and one guys dark mode is another guys eye horror. Sites implementing some dark mode is like public places implementing some accessibility as they see it, with different ideas in every place.
Dark mode should be a set of settings tuned to every user, like glasses. Not a designer’s hallucination about matrix and hackers.
As a matter of fact, I’d like to have similar settings for bright mode as well. Cause designs get out of hand in both modes.
If you haven't had your vision checked recently, might be a good idea to do so because it sounds like you may have astigmatism.
I've been slowly developing it as I get older and one of the most noticeable effects to me is that bright objects on dark backgrounds are becoming blurrier over time. It's most noticeable with lights when driving at night, but I've started to notice it when using dark mode without any additional lighting in the room.
I’ve had astigmatism ever since a laser eye surgery. It’s unnoticeable 95% of the time, but every site that forces dark mode on me makes it immediately obvious. I immediately find a light switch or leave.
Ah man that's why laser eye surgery scares me. My eyes are pretty bad so a lot of my lens has to be shaved. I noped out of last consultation; they recommended I get a lens inserted behind my cornea cause of that, but there are so many horror stories online
I wouldn’t call my case a horror story. This is still a million times better than how it was, and I’d absolutely go back do it again.
In fact I am considering getting a “tune up” round, but it’s a lot of money and leaves your eyes out of operation for quite a while. Alternatively, I might get astigmatism glasses that I wear exclusively in places I need to see well in low light, for instance movie theater credits are always a challenge (which would be a non-issue if my GF didn’t make us sit through all the credits to every movie we see…)
There’s nothing quite like the quality of life delta that comes from waking up every morning and simply being able to see.
Oh, and with periods of concerted effort I’ve been able to temporarily remove the astigmatism entirely, by basically training my eyes how to focus. There’s a good chance continuing to do that more frequently would give me a permanent fix too.

Astigmatism? I have a minor one but points of light on a dark background is the best way to see it.

Ah I didn't mean your experience was a horror story; I've read others that are
