There are two things that are easily done that can make iOS7 easier to use for people who might be suffering from a bit of eye-strain.


The first is to choose a dark-coloured wallpaper, especially one that is dark-toned along the top edge. That will provide sufficient contrast to see the white text along the top of your screen, which includes those little things you often glance at: charge capacity, time etc.


Second, switch to bold text: Settings / General / Accessibility / Bold Text turned on. After the restart much of the tiny type will be much clearer and easier to see.


I did both those things and now I don't even notice the issues that were bothering me before.
