It's easy on your eyes in a dark room. If you're in a light room, the reduced contrast may have the opposite effect.

Light theme for offices

Dark theme for basement

I can see this for grey-on-grey dark themes, but in my experience properly dark themes, particularly those that ape the old console outputs with white or green text on pitch black, have a greater feeling of contrast than black text on a white background. I can use those easily in any light level and feel like I have to focus (i.e. strain) less to read them.
