Ive Been Welding For Over 10 Years And Have Never Suffered Arc Eye Because I Either Look Away When You/they Arc Up Or I Use A

MASK

[jonn]

ya i know what a mask is for but i just looked away and closed my eyes beacuse we only had 1 mask. i went to the chemist and got drops and they said that you are supposed to weld for a certain time then take a rest

[Tidy Max]

got to be carefull of reflections too mte, any glass/metal etc the arc light bounces round and into your eyes! just like the sun and snow/water, it reflects off and gets you doubley!!!

I was thinking the exact same thing lol

[twistysnovagte]

ive had welding flash in both eyes not nice atall,i had to go the hospital as it burnt the cornea(layer of skin around the eye)i was given orange drops under a blue light to check for damage.
i was told id be ok in a few days,the following morning when i awoke my eyes were literaly shut and sore(felt like sandpaper in my eye when blinking).
also looking like a tit with a pair of sunglasses on down the boozer friday night lol

I bought an instant dimming welding mask the other day - its the best investment I made! Fecking brilliant!

I spent ages though wondering how it worked - its solar powered and I thought - "but I'm in the garage - the suns not near me"

lol

[burgo]

ade you noob lol.

john if you were closing your eyes then its just basically sun burnt eyelids. will be fine in a couple of days and will be peeling in about a week

[jimbob-mcgrew]

rub chilli's in your eyes, it'll cool them down lol
