Reading on a white background burns my eyes very quickly. It only takes a few minutes, after which I remember to use my invert colors shortcut.

Yes, dark themes SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the stress on my eyes.

For me text on a dark background is harder to read, I need to increase the font size. I've been using light themes for 20+ years. I'm using solarized-light for the last ten or so years. The background is a very pale orange.
