I've had arc eye, just thought i'd tack something up while vaguely using a mask. Resulted in eyeballs that felt like sand paper. Wasn't much fun. But i don't think its affected my eye sight, soldering has though.

Well, I did Sunday night, while driving.
Already light sensitive eyes and 4 beers = HOLY ---- those headlights are bright!
In high school I was blown out of a 440v 3 phase box, temp. blinded by the flash.

Re: Long term eye damage from welder's flash?
I work at a place that has a big welding/fabrication department and I always look down to keep from looking at the arc...I've been caught off guard a time or two, though, and you can definitely feel it. I can't imagine actually looking at that ---- purposely. I too have blue eyes, I didn't know they were more sensitive like that. I know one time I did get a piece of rust embedded in my right eyeball, and it was like you guys are talking about, you couldn't go out in the sun 4 ---- with your eyes open, and my eye got sooo red, it was extremely unpleasant/uncomfortable,...then I went to the eye doctor and the put this little drill on my eyeball, WILD ----, and gave my eye drops that filled my mouth with the same taste as the drainage from cocaine(you know when it runs down they back of your throat)...acetate i-drops ftw...

Re: Long term eye damage from welder's flash?
i had welders flash 3 summers ago... woke up the next morning with the feeling of sand in my eyes... went to the doctors and said if I would have stared at the light any longer I would be blind... little did she know I watch beads form for a good half hour... went away after a few days... i came out with better eye sight though
