A few times when I was an apprentice
Ya it happened to me for the first time Friday and it was a painful experience
Did you guys go to an eye doctor to get it checked out or just let it go away on its own ? And that's the exact feeling I had
Welders eye ease, it comes in a small bottle and it numbs your eyes for a while
Okay thanks for the info man I've been putting some ointment in my eyes for it and it's gotten better next time I'll do the potatoes
You're not suppose to stare at the pretty blue light.
What causes this? No helmet, or ???

Welding in most cases is brighter than the sun! Even if you close your eyes the retinas can become damaged and 'burned' it's basically a severe sun burn on your eyes. Last week I had left my shop shirt a button up collared long sleeve shirt at home. I welded in my t shirt. The tops of my arms didn't get burnt but the way I was holding the booth curtain bar watching a demo allowed the bottom or soft side of my forearm and bicep to not only get severe burns but also mild nerve damage. It's nasty stuff.
I also have heard that if the lense inside of your helmet is not correctly installed the light will seep through the cracks and burn your eyes from the reflection off the lense. It's up there top ten worst pains,
