I think your issue lies in the screen that is sunk in below the lightguide layer. Even on a flush screen (Voyage or Oasis are the only ones I have personally seen/owned) the eink screen itself is sunk in. About a half millimeter or so - enough that I can easily see the difference compared to the top of the black bezel. When having the front light off you can see the shadows from the light (like non-flush screens only smaller). This gives a good optical clue as to the difference in distance to focus. Turn on the front light and the shadows disappear removing any visual clue where to focus. The illusion that the text is same height as the bezel is created.
That normally is not a problem if you are able to refocus without turning eyes. Same principle applies to them magic pictures - you have to cross your eyes either in or out, focus behind or infront, then refocus on the picture.
Don't feel bad, your eyes are supposed to focus where they look.
