Eye strain , headaches after updating to mac os 26 and 26.1

since MacOS 26 and 26.1 I am getting headaches, eyestrain and even nausea. The over sharp and intense lettering along with blurring of portions of screen have not been able to be corrected even with apple support. Any suggestions.

re: macOS 26.1


If I didn't know better Smilin-Brian reference is pointing towards iPhone or iOS devices...(?) Maybe I am wrong.



Use the search feature >System Settings>Appearance and make some changes across the board and compare your results.
