Thank you very much for this great message!

People who have cataracts, and even those who are post-op, usually have problems with distortion with black-on-white text. Filtering out the blue end of the spectrum can help make the text appear sharper.
Some learning disabilities (like dyslexia) and neurological conditions (like traumatic brain injury or epilepsy) can also cause distortion with regular black-on-white text. I'm not a neurologist, so I don't know how or why it works, but sometimes using a colored overlay can help.
Amber, yellow, and green are the most common colors for overlays, and some people even have tinted reading glasses.

I usually change the font size using my browser settings, so I did not think to change the fonts for the post. Do you use Mozilla Firefox? One of my favorite extensions is NoSquint, which saves your font size settings for each website. I have MobileRead set at 160% zoom level.
