• Quick on and off? OnePlus says you can tap the Eye Comfort icon in Quick Settings. Swipe down from the top twice to see all the tiles. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual
• Older OxygenOS? OnePlus's OxygenOS 14 manual puts it at Settings, Display & brightness, Eye Comfort. On our OxygenOS 16 phone, Eye Comfort is a switch on the Eye Care page. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual
• Can't find Eye Care? Search Settings for Eye and tap the Eye Comfort result.

If this does not work

• Screen looks too yellow? Choose Custom and move the slider towards Low.
• Schedule missing? It only shows with Custom picked, not Smart.
• Only want it at night? Bedtime mode, at the top of Eye Care, adjusts the screen colour to warmer tones after sunset. It was off on ours.
• Prefer a darker screen too? Dark mode is separate: Dark mode and its styles.

About this guide

Eye Comfort is OnePlus's blue-light filter. On OxygenOS 16 it lives on a page called Eye Care.

The screenshots are from our OnePlus Nord 5 with OxygenOS 16.0.5.1201 and Android 16, in Dark mode. Eye Comfort was off. We turned it on, tried Smart and Custom, then set Smart back and turned it off.

Good to know

Change screen colours: screen colour and refresh rate.

In short: Settings, Display & brightness, Eye Care, Eye Comfort on. Smart or Custom.
