I would think that anyone would get a headache trying to see in low light or in the dark. I know that I have had that problem. Once no more light is coming through my windows, I start turning on lights. We are asking way too much of ours eyes trying to see in the dark. Our eyes aren't built like that so why do it?
Some of this simply comes down to common sense. We are not cats who's pupils become huge to see in the dark and shrink to slits in very bright light.
If you have trouble seeing, in low light turn on some lights. If you are holding an e-ink close to your face to see clearly, see a doctor about glasses. Take a break from the screen and blink a few times to moisten the eyes, dry eyes = pain/strain. Don't read in the dark whether with an lcd or e-ink. In very bright light outside, wear sunglasses, excessive light can also cause strain & pain.
Don't expect your bodies to do extremely more than they are capable of and then complain when they start hurting.
