Hello,
This may have been mentioned a number of times already, but I simply must strongly advise you to use following tips. I wish I had come up with this sooner and had not consequently exposed myself to the screen glare for so long (which may have made my condition worse).
1. Use the "Dark background and light text" add-on for Mozilla. There may be equivalents of this for other browsers. Without this I wouldn't make it 5 minutes on the Web.
2. F.lux software – the screen looks ugly, but believe me, you will get used to and it helps.
3. Decrease brightness in your operating system. I thought I would never get used to a darker screen, but yes, I did.
4. Windows colors and appearance – click on each of the four areas pointed in the attached image and change the color to grey. It helps a lot when working in text editors.

Here's a link that shows how to find Windows colors in Windows 7:

5. You can also change the background colors in pdfs, but it doesn't always work very well.
1) Open Adobe Reader. Go to Edit - Preferences - Accessibility.
2) Make sure the "Replace Document Colors" is checked and click on Custom Color.
3) Click "Page Background" color and then select "other color."
6. When working with, let's say, text editors, and you don't see very well, use zooming in instead of moving your face closer to the screen. On the web you can use ctrl + and ctrl - to change the screen enlargement (at least it works in Mozilla).
