About This Feature
Overview
Eye Care Mode is a built-in display feature in WPS Office for Windows that changes the current document background to a soft green tone for more comfortable on-screen reading.
Core tasks include:
- Turn on Eye Care Mode for a softer document background during reading and editing.
- Turn off Eye Care Mode to return to the standard display.
- Use the status bar shortcut to switch the display more quickly.
This feature is useful for long proofreading sessions, continuous text entry, and office environments with softer indoor lighting. It changes only the on-screen display and does not change the actual document content.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides Eye Care Mode in the Windows document interface and changes the page background to a soft green reading view. You can switch it from the View tab or from the status bar icon. | Word provides Dark Mode for the app controls and document background, and lets users switch page background colors after the Office theme is set to Black. | Google Docs officially supports Dark theme on mobile, with a focus on low-light reading on Android and later iOS support. | Notion supports switching between dark mode and light mode with a keyboard shortcut on desktop. | Acrobat on mobile supports Dark Mode, Low Light, Full Screen, and Liquid Mode for PDF reading comfort on phones and tablets. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the feature entry is directly available on the View tab and can also be toggled from the status bar, so the path is short for document reading on Windows. | Compared with WPS: Word dark viewing depends on the broader Office theme and then a page background switch, so the setup path is less direct for this use case. | Compared with WPS: the official description focuses on mobile dark theme rather than a dedicated Windows document eye-care entry. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers app theme switching, not a document-page eye-care background designed for word processing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF reading views and mobile reading optimization rather than a dedicated word-processing page background on Windows. |

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly want a faster way to switch to a softer reading background while editing documents on Windows, WPS Eye Care Mode is closely aligned with everyday writing and proofreading tasks. Other products also provide dark themes or reading views, but their official focus is more on app-wide themes, mobile reading, or PDF viewing.
