I also have damaged eyes that are sensitive to light. The Voyage doesn't bother my eyes at all with or without the light. I can't read with my Nook Glo more than about an hour or so with the light on now (I'm actually considering selling it for this reason - my eyes got worse over the last year). Any ereader without the light on works perfectly fine. I just use an ordinary reading lamp. Any kind of tablet is pretty bad. I use them extremely sparingly now (mostly just for magazines).
I know you can shut the light off Kindles and Nooks. I presume other manufacturer's allow this as well.
Finally, my Mom has a 1st generation Paperwhite - I can't use that more than half an hour. Don't know about the current Paperwhites.
