Can Small Print Strain The Eyes?

My employer is considering having us work from home on laptops. I currently am in a cube with a large monitor.

I am encouraging them to provide separate large monitors and wireless keyboard so we do not work hunched over the laptop and strain eyes from the small print. Are there medical studies to support my cause?

To use separate specs for computer. Artificial tear drop is to be used. If there is still problem then magnify the letters.
