About This Feature
Overview
Eye Care Mode is a built-in display feature in WPS Office on Windows for spreadsheet work. It changes the document background to a soft light green to reduce visual strain during long reading or editing sessions.
Core capabilities include:
- Turn Eye Care Mode on or off from the View tab.
- Switch Eye Care Mode from the status bar while you keep working in the document.
- Keep document content, cell fill, and print output unchanged because the feature only affects on-screen display.
This feature is useful for long spreadsheet review sessions, collaborative reading, and repeated data checking.

| Capability Summary | On Windows, Eye Care Mode can be turned on from the View tab or the status bar. It changes the document background to a soft light green and only affects display. | Microsoft Word support pages provide help for document views and formatting. Public help pages show Word help coverage, but the retrieved official page here does not present a dedicated soft green reading background mode comparable to this feature. | Google Docs official help describes Dark theme for mobile apps and notes that collaborators cannot see the theme you choose. | Notion official help provides a shortcut to toggle dark mode and light mode as an app theme change. | Adobe Acrobat official help provides display theme changes for the app interface, including light and dark viewing themes. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can switch the reading display directly inside the document window. Distinct: The feature description clearly states that it changes only screen display and does not affect printing or document content. | Compared with WPS: the retrieved official help entry is broader and does not focus on a document-area eye care background mode. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance here focuses on mobile dark theme rather than a dedicated spreadsheet eye care background on Windows. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on app-wide light and dark appearance instead of a document-area eye care background. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on interface display themes for PDF viewing rather than a spreadsheet editing view with a soft green background. |

Overall Conclusion
For users who spend long periods reviewing or editing spreadsheets on Windows, WPS Eye Care Mode offers a direct in-document way to soften the viewing background. Other products provide theme or display options, but they are generally described as app-level light or dark themes rather than the same document-area eye care display behavior.
