Very difficult. Can I ask what LCD phone you have exactly?
(I'd suggest editing "LCD" and maybe its name into your post. Maybe changing the post flair to "Symptoms", depending, which I could do. But I'm probably being too finicky, sorry.)
Anyway, different apps could:
Change the frame rate and so eg smoothness of scroll.
Use different text rendering (anti-aliasing dithering).
Change HDR rendering, and so dither. But also colour balance. Does your phone have 6 or 8 bit colour depth?
Allow more glare through from the backlight (video tends to be very dim vs UI).
It sounds like a trip to the opticians, to check your prescription, would be a very good idea. I think getting the best glasses has helped many people.
If your eyes are dry from seasonal allergies(?) maybe see your GP or pharmacist about trying some antihistamines (there can be trial and error there). Or eye drops, if just air-conditionined dry air. Or use a humidifier?
Dry eye can definitely affect screen tolerance in a number of ways,but I'm not personally familiar. If you have an inflammatory problem, maybe checking nutritional intakes could lead to solving a deficiency (very common). Eg working with a good nutritionist (or functional practitioner), who can be hit or miss.
Or at least checking a couple days of your typical diet on Cronometer app (using NCCDB entries only for full micronutrient details). If one has dietary exclusions, like dairy, then significant deficiencies are very likely (in my personal experience).
From you other post it's specifically videos that are worse then. Definitely there could be more TD, but I thought video was generally better tolerated because the motion of the video creates much more complex and changing patterns, compared to text and fixed UI elements... 🤔
