As to whether it wears out your eyes more or less, I can't say. I would think eye strain headaches with the tablets would mean it was stressing my eyes out. My vision is 20/15 according to physical last year, but again I had to reduce tablet reading because of the feel of strain. No way to tell if it would have hurt vision if I kept reading on them. I do know when these strain headaches hit my vision would blur for awhile and my eyes would look tired until I went to sleep. I'd pop a pill to help and rest my eyes for a bit.

I had weird vision issues after I extended reading on my phone - things looked slightly blurry and I was seeing halos around lights. Thankfully by the day after that my eyes went back to normal. I mentioned it at my next eye checkup and my eye doctor told me to stick with epub.
I think this is very individual and everyone should read on whichever device works for them.
