The single biggest impact to my eyes has always been setting the colour temperature of monitors to 6500 K. This is closest to the spectrum emitted by the Sun and I find it the most comfortable setting. All that being said, at my age I now prefer e-ink over LCD for extended reading.

As so many others have commented it all comes down to personal preferences - what is most comfortable for your eyes.
