When you're browsing the web things can be a little tougher because web sites have their own colors. You can use the following "bookmark-let" to reset your current page to white on blue if there's a particularly long piece of text you are reading.

  If you're lucky enough to be using a Mac, you can also press "control-option-command-8" simultaneously to invert the colors on your screen. This is really helpful if the application you're using doesn't "get" that a glowing white background is generally bad for your eyes!
