iOS 7 eye strain

The new iOS 7 is causing me eye strain. The font hurts my eyes. I can live with the "juvenille" icons but the sharp lines,and contrast or lack of is killing my eyes! Besides "brightness" and font size is there anything I can do to to help with this terrible download? Apple, big mistake here! Please help.....

Thanks for posting those!

It still looks like it was designed by a 10 year old girl, but at least it is more legible. Sure is amateur looking compared to ios 6. Oh well. The cost of progress and improvement.

Was this the designer of ios 7?

No problem!

And just for comparison, here are 2 screen shots of iOS 7.1 in the default standard settings:

Thanks again.

That really clarifies how bad the standard ios 7 design is. I'm really glad to see they once again returning to a more legible and easy to use design. Nice to see Apple has finally figured this out, and is returning us once again to something closer to ios 6.

Your help is very much appreciated!
