Twitter making contrast changes as users report eye strain, migraines

After several users reported eye strain, headaches and even migraines owing to the high visual contrast in new Twitter design with buttons, links and new font called Chirp, the micro-blogging platform on Saturday announced to change the contrast on all buttons.

The company said in a post that it is making contrast changes on all buttons to make them easier on the eyes “because you told us the new look is uncomfortable for people with sensory sensitivities”.

“We’re listening and iterating. We’ve identified issues with the Chirp font for Windows users and are actively working on a fix,” the Twitter Accessibility account posted.
