Does the refresh rate on LCD monitors matter for the eye strain ?
Like, is there a difference in having 60Mhz and 85Mhz refresh rates ?

My eyes hurt and I need a settings that will be the easiest for the eyes.

Refresh rate will not affect your LCD performance at all. You should read this article here:

It will clear up the misconecptions people have about their LCD's and refresh rates.
