It is my understanding that the flash from welding has the same affect on the eyes as sever sun exposure and that exposure to sun light is what causes cataracts. Like, if we live long enough we will get cancer and we will also get cataracts if we are exposed to the sun long enough. They are probably the only eyes you will ever have, take good care of them.

Another thing do we know that closing our eye lids protects them from U.V. rays? An eye surgeon pointed out that the lids were not designed to stop flying metal fragments like happen sometimes when pounding a chisel with a hammer.
