LCD's do produce less eyestrain than CRT's, since they refresh differently. However, they are still backlit, and (afaik) involves oscillations. In comparison, current epaper is fully static and is not backlit, hence the advantages. So the claim makes sense.
Or to put it another way, what is the factual basis that you have to indicate that LCD's produce the same levels of eyestrain as either paper or epaper? Enquiring minds want to know.
