I do pretty much the same thing when watching a video on a tablet. I like old TV shows and I have a 7" Fire with a lot of them on it and I'll usually use my reading glasses or sometimes my bifocals. I can watch a 1 hour show with no problem without a pause. I can't read for an hour without 2 or 3 breaks.
I hold both about the same distance away.
I don't have a TV. I usually watch TV shows on my laptop with Netflix or Amazon Prime or Youtube. None of it bothers my eyes. But I don't think I'm constantly gazing into the screen for extended periods while watching a show like I do when reading.
As for lighting, I've learned to be careful adjusting the lighting when I read or watch TV. I usually use Moon+ on my phone and it's simply a matter of swiping the edge of the screen to make fine adjustments. I generally keep the light as dim as I'm comfortable with.

If you've got the same version of the 7" Fire that I have, the resolution is to too low for me to really be happy reading on it. I can read on it, but end up grabbing a higher res device instead before too long. I'm curious what resolution your phone has?
