over years I have received a number of flashes when welding but what could I expect from it .. does it cause cataracts? or do eyes recover??
Burnt my eye lids doing that, tad sore that was.Tack welding by closing your eyes like London Chopshop garage, that doesn't work too good
Too bloody late nowsterility !!!
Yep a sore bugger, but a good tan in winter looks wellBurnt my eye lids doing that, tad sore that was.
Interesting reading, I didn't realise the difference between conventional arc and migIf you get burns on your retina they can recover, but its not a good thing.
Read below & remember you only get one set of eyes and they can`t always be fixed!

Yes, that's possible.Can arc eye clear up within a day? I was helping a welder on Monday and wasn't aware of being flashed, but woke up with my eyes in agony about one in the morning. Took painkillers and eventually got back to sleep, but other than a slight ache been fine since.
Thanks. I'm normally very careful and didn't even realise I'd got a flash this time.Yes, that's possible.
Just be aware next time the damage could be a lot worse and permanent
