From personal experience: I use dark themes on everything for years, and the difference is night and day, literally.
Dark themes are much better for my eyes.
Having a hard time believing any research suggesting otherwise. Would surprise me, to say the least.
Also, this is anecdotal - I have 240Hz monitor, and since I started using it (couple of years), I have less eye strain. It could be the refresh rate, or it could be this particular monitor somehow (the quality or whatever). I am not sure.
Basically, 240Hz + dark background + light text + low brightness is ideal for my eyes, based on my experience.
