If you get headaches or other such issues it is likely you are simply dealing with the progression of vision loss due to age or possibly other eye-health issues.
You cannot blame it on any form of screen technology available today unless you happen to have some form of eye illness.

Hm, I am afraid you are confusing eye disease and eyestrain.
Here is a list of causes of eyestrain, provided by the
Mayo Clinic:
"
Causes
By Mayo Clinic staff
Common causes of eyestrain include:
* Extended use of a computer or video monitor
* Reading for extended periods
* Exposure to bright light or glare
* Straining to see in very dim light
Using a computer for long periods is one of the most common causes of eyestrain. This type of eyestrain is called computer vision syndrome. In some cases, an underlying eye problem such as eye muscle imbalance or uncorrected vision can cause or worsen computer eyestrain."
To Illustrate:
If I read on my iPhone for more than a few minutes, when I look away in the distance, my vision is blurry for a little while.
I can read for a lot longer on my Apple LCD laptop, but eventually, I do get similar temporary blurriness when I look at the distance.
Reading a book is next, I can read a bit longer than on the laptop.
Strangely, reading on the Kindle (lit well by a clip on), tires my eyes less than reading a book.
Similarly, I can stare at my Apple IPS monitor all day, without any bothersome eyestrain.
This is my personal experience, of course. I do not wear prescription glasses.
I will have to see the iPad's screen in person, before I can judge if it tires my eyes or not.
