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.

For as much as I weld I have never gotten flashed to the point I had any eye discomfort.

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...

Having Hotrex's foot as my avatar hurts my eyes enough that I can't sleep at night...
