Frequent laptop use - no backlight, dimmed, or fully on? which is best for eyes

Hi,

I have nystagmus and am slightly short sighted, and as i use the laptop the majority of the day, with breaks in between, i was curious which is best for my vision between:

having no backlight on the screen, i can read screen okay it just is bit dim
or
having the backlight moderatey dimmed, so in between off and fully on
or
full back light on bright
