So I welded my eyes shut...

People pay good money for chemical peels. This was much cheaper and even does the eyelids

Interesting business model, MIG based beauty treatments

make sure on plasma glasses, that you utilize ones with full ultraviolet a/b filtration, in addition to the shade 8. shade 5 for acetylene may not be enough. I feel it is with a&b, without it though, forget it.

These were made for plasma.
Didn't do anything for the rest of my face though!
Mask next time if I'm doing anything as extensive as a SAS.

ok, I wore my mask for all but a few tacks this weekend and I did it again! I guess it is time for a new mask. This hurts.

Are you sure it was't the meteorite you saw Friday night?

It is official, I have arc eye. Good lord this hurts.

I do think I figured out what is doing it though. I was pretty good about using my helmet when welding. It is the glasses that came with the torch that are not protecting my eyes. I believe the UV goes right through them. My eyes feel like there is sand in them and it really hurts to look at bright lights.

I went to the doc today and he drilled out a nice piece of metal from my eye. It had been there awhile and had began to rust. All the rust needed to be drilled out. Good times.

Where in the world could you have encountered rusty metal?

Back in the 80s, I got some rust in one of my contact lenses. That was when a single lens was like $120. But that was far better than getting my eye drilled!
