Do you believe that things that you find fatiguing to read are also going to 'ruin' your eyesight if you try? Is there any evidence for this?

No, I don't believe that would affect my particular impairment. Do you believe that the only valid metric for accessibility is whether a site is actively damaging eyesight?

No, but my original comment wasn't about accessibility (of which I'm a proponent, by the way), it was about whether the specific sentence "It almost seems like this was intentionally created to ruin eyesight" was unhelpful hyperbole.

OK, it makes me optimistic to hear you characterize yourself that way, and it would be wonderful if you are able to make a difference (acting locally).
