However, pain resulting from bright light (photophobia) can be a symptom of a migraine headache or a number of eye disorders, for example, those that involve inflammation or infection within the front part of the eye (uveitis), a corneal disorder (such as keratitis), or an eye injury. It may also be due to meningitis (which is also typically accompanied by a severe headache and neck stiffness).
Doctors first try to differentiate light sensitivity from photophobia. The cause of light sensitivity or photophobia can usually be determined by the person's symptoms and an eye examination. A slit lamp examination is particularly useful for detecting disorders that cause photophobia. Light sensitivity and photophobia can be minimized by protecting the eyes from light (for example, by using sunglasses). When photophobia is the result of inflammation within the eye, dilating eye drops can help to relieve pain." |
Quite so. So, what does the fact that:
a) my eyes hurt when the only light source is a screen of iPhone, set to minimal brightness, in complete darkness, and
b) they don't hurt when I read on e-Ink, in full sunlight or under bright light of the lamp
tell you about relevance of the symptoms I described to light sensitivity?

Well, yes, sometimes when I see opinions that go with great conviction against simplest facts I observe in the world, I get angry enough to respond.

I admit I use LCD monitors with issues, which I have to make efforts to avoid. I also believe (and wrote it) that specific eye problem I have is irrelevant to the eyes' reaction to backlighting (which you chose to ignore).

Wrong - I haven't used any for years now. When they were still around, I wasn't able to use them as they caused headaches. Please read more carefully.

Oh yes, I expected you would. And care to give even one example of such contradiction? I thought so 
EDIT after some time: Actually, I'm serious - if you see anything in my first post, which contradicts something else in the same post, I'd be glad if you could point it out to me. As almost everything in the post is a summary of what effect reading under various condition has on me, I don't understand how it can be contradictory.
