This is probably astigmatic halation. For me it looks something like this: https://www.threads.com/@mrmedina/post/CuciL0Uvam9

If a product/service/site is dark-mode only, I can't/won't use it.

Only some dark mode does this to me, and only on some screens. I find "light mode" bearable, but anything else cute like custom fonts or whatever and I am seeing 33 as 88 and 100 as loo.

I have schwas in my vision, like swishy halos around light sources. At one point I counted 12 distinct mirrored images. Driving was awful.

Reading my 4k screen was impossible, gave it to my wife and switched to a 2k HDR at 175%.

I still have swishes but only 1.5-2 and much dimmer. It used to be impossible to read the clock on my stove at night because it would just be a green smear!
