I'd be very interested in any app that meets the general requirements stated here - I have had a similar visual perception impairment for a long time.
In my case, reducing unpolarised light/glare helps - either by using light-tinted polarised sunglasses, or (better) using Eskimo-style spectacles (ordinary specs, but with the lenses taped over with black tape to leave just narrow horizontal slits to see through. I haven't tried pinhole glasses yet, but that might help.
With computers, the problem seems to be too much bright, unpolarised light coming from the pixels of the computer/laptop screen. We are designed to see things by their reflected light, but with pixels we are literally reading from the light source. The result is unpolarised light noise falling on the retina, blurring the image there. If one has slight cloudiness of the fluid in the eyes (as I do), that leads to intra-optical refraction, causing more noise on the retina.
I think my eye problems probably all stem from injury - getting severe snow-blindless at high altitude when I was 16. It also damaged the epithelial membranes on the eyeballs. My eyes became sensitive to bright sunlight and I have worn low-tinted polaroid sunglasses for years to combat sun glare.
