Anyone know what " Arc Eye " is ? I was welding in tight quarters yesterday with my MIG and not using any face shield . Ive done it hundreds of times and gotten away with it but oh my god last night was pure misery and pain.
Basically its a severe sunburn on your eye balls, my corneas and retinas were scorched .
I felt ok till I went to bed then woke up an hour later feeling like someone poured glass in my eyes. I didnt think Id be able to work today but I got my eyes open around 4:00 am just enough to squint and wore sunglasses all day. Im deffinitely getting better but vision is very blurry , screen is very hard to look at for more than a few minutes.
I know in a couple of days I'll be fine but if anyone knows any tips tricks or methods to ease the pain and speed up recovery Id sure appreciate it.
