Does turning on your phone in the dark and feeling such bad eyestrain so you have to close them bad?

No Damage: Eye strain may give you a headache, but generally leads to no lasting impairment. If you have to close your eyes for a rest, do it. If your vision is blurry, see (joke in there somewhere) your doctor.
