An electric welding arc produces ultraviolet light and the UV light will damage the retina.
With a good welding helmet, your eyes will be protected, but you must have the proper shade (somewhere between 9 and 14 depending on your amperage) and if using an auto-darkening helmet, it must switch on quickly. (1/25000 of a second)

Safety is important when welding. Make sure you have protective clothing (jacket, no frayed pants, helmet with proper shade, steel toe boots if material falls, etc.) Make sure people around you know your welding! Eye surgery sucks! NO Flammable liquids! (lacquer thinner is great for cleaning dirty metal before welding, but causes really big flames if you don't wipe off with a simple green type cleaner) Know where to kill the power if you have a problem, and where the extinguishers are VENTILATION! Clean air, good, welding fumes not so good.
It is extremely important to wear goggles when welding in order to prevent any damage to the eyes. Flying pieces of molten metal, chemicals or acids could blind or cause serious damage.
The most common welding hazards are, burns, electrical shock, inhalation of harmful fumes, and UV damage to skin and eyes. All can be easily avoided if proper safety precautions are implemented.

Welding produces extremely bright light that can cause eye damage. To protect the eyes, welders should wear a welding helmet with a dark, UV-filtering lens. Additionally, using safety goggles or glasses underneath the helmet can provide extra protection. It is important to always wear appropriate eye protection when welding to prevent eye injuries.
Reflected welding light can cause eye damage such as arc eye or welder's flash, which is a painful condition similar to sunburn on the eyes. Prolonged exposure to reflected welding light without proper eye protection can lead to permanent vision problems. It can also cause skin burns and increase the risk of fires in the surrounding area.

Yes, welding can be harmful to your eyes after LASIK eye surgery. The intense ultraviolet (UV) light and bright sparks produced during welding can cause damage to the cornea and potentially lead to complications, especially in the initial recovery period after LASIK. It's crucial to wear appropriate protective eyewear, such as a welding helmet with UV protection, to safeguard your eyes. Always consult with your eye care professional before engaging in activities like welding post-surgery.
Yes, auto darkening welding helmets are safe to use for protecting your eyes during welding tasks. They automatically adjust the shade of the lens to protect your eyes from the bright light produced during welding, reducing the risk of eye damage.
