I get eyestrain with lower brightness, but I typically don't use my computer in the dark. On the occasion that I do, I do lower the brightness. I also loathe dark mode in general, but I do enjoy a darker background with colorful fonts while programming (Dracula theme for Sublime). All in all, I rarely get eye strain with my habits.

Are you experiencing the inverse problem? If your screen is darker than your surroundings, then it will likely strain your eyes.

The goal here is to match your display's brightness (the content you see, not just the backlight intensity) to your room's ambient lighting.
