Always best to go to a Dr. or the emergency to see if something got in your eye. Guys that don't wear at least a shade 3 lens when using a cutting torch CAN damage their eyes over time. My dad knew a guy that went blind and all he ever did was oxy/acet welding and cutting without the proper lens. They don't do eye transplants!

If it's a bad flash, the Dr. will put drops/cream in your eye and an eye patch for a couple of days. Luckily I've never had one that bad. I have had rust and metal filings in my eye before so like I said, it's always a good idea to get your eyes checked. Most times I got flashed, I remember seeing the big white spot when I went to strike an arc again. Had to wait a bit till I could see properly.
