Do you happen to have an astigmatism?

I’m not sure if my personal anecdotes will apply to you but I’ve found dark color schemes with gray text over a blue background (ex. Solarized Dark) to be infinitely more usable than something with a black background with white text.

Yes. It has been getting progressively worse over the past decade to the point where I can no longer wear contacts. I use Solarized Light on all my editors, and tried solarized dark. Still no dice. I think some of the sibling posts to yours explain a few things, like the amount of light available to rust-old eyes. :)
