I've edited for about 20 years. Plenty of colleagues have had hand and wrist problems, carpal tunnel syndrome and such. We work on computers all day, and most of us read online recreationally as well. If eye strain were a big problem, it would be widespread among such users. That's not the case.
Most people's eyes deteriorate over the years, of course. I'm glad that e-ink exists and helps anyone read. I might end up needing it myself. But I think it's illogical for e-ink fans to assume that everyone shares their eye problems.

I think that when properly adjusted, lcd screens do not
cause eyestrain, but I wonder whether if your eyes are already tired, lcd screens are more difficult to read than e-ink. I certainly find paper more easily read when my eyes are tired than I find my iPad to be.
