I think we all wish... but alas, despite my efforts we still do not have a moderator.

Thread has been stickied..I have some headaches lately that Ive never experienced before. Im one to not get headaches but the few Ive had in the last few weeks have been doooooozies...holding my head, feeling like its going to explode!
Im an alum TIG welder mainly but as a fabricator i get flashed all the time. If you walk by a fitting bay those guys are rubbing their eyes all day long cause they dont use helmets. I have a Miller Elite digital Auto-darkening lid but its way to hot to wear in my Round room and im always running my head into things. Our local Argon supplyer "Praxair" sells 20 dollar pairs of variable UV protective safety glasses for fitting with a Mig.WELDERS USE A HELMET, FLASHBURN IS NO JOKE

Welders flash is like a bad sunburn on the surface of your eyes and sorta feels like someone threw sand in your face. It's not funny and guys usually get sent home without pay for the rest of the day. I posses my Occupational first aid level 2 and 3 so im the first responder on my site aswell as a full time tig welder and its more common than an untied shoe. As long as the bullet doesnt have their name on it, they arent really aware of the full potential of the dangers of UV exposure. With growing and TIG welding full time its hard to not expose my eyes but im always sure to bend over backwards, twist my arm and put my coolness on hold while i throw on some knarly optics.AB~ you got that right^^ Flashburn on your eyes is enough to make you cry.^^
I ask you all a simple question, Do all welders smoke or are all smokers only welders. I beleive that ansi 17 safety glasses are rated enough to protect from any uv burn. My last job used pulsed mig weld brightest shit you ever saw, if you do burn your eyes cool whole milk dropped into your eyes and then thin sliced potatoes right on your eye ball will have you better in no time.
I had to get the eye doctor to fit me in tomorrow morning.
Twice I have been out with the wife in the last 2 days in pretty bright sun and no sunglasses. Like walking from the car to the mall. I couldn't see AT ALL. My eyes started squinting like when you're up skiing?? Then started watering.... tearing pouring almost and I had to take my wifes hand and have her lead me inside where i got my vision back.
i have no existing eye problems and perfect vision as of my test last year. interesting to see what they find.
I've been wearing uv protected sunglasses but I guess that isn't cutting it.
tons tons tons of funs

I had this same thing happen to me last summer. I was actually driving and I had to pull over and wait about 10 minutes for it to clear up. It hasn't happened since though, so I dunno wtf it was.
