Describe the problem

"My astigmatism cannot be corrected with glasses, which results in my vision looking like this (while wearing glasses):

obraz
(double and shifted image. I see this way even when looking with one eye, it's not a squint, but rather astigmatism)

It’s worst with strong contrast, deep blacks, and bright text.

But the font is equally important. The more elaborate the font, the worse it gets.

Not only is it hard for me to read, but I actually feel discomfort and want to leave the site that has such contrast and font settings.

Light side mode is just... too bright. I don't want to use light mode anywhere, it's an unwanted compulsion in some places, but I avoid light mode.

It's disappointing because the previous version of the site had contrast and fonts that were very comfortable for me."

Describe the proposed solution

Many websites are very well designed for my visual impairment (consciously or unconsciously), e.g.:

This Github style

ChatGPT

YouTube
obraz

This Twitter style
obraz

Facebook

Old Svelte documentation

And many more.
