Just messing with you, we only have 2 eyes and that is exactly why I am asking a bunch of people with experience with the equipment in question.

LOL you would be surprised how easy it is to get flash burn. Sometime you don’t noticed simple things such as the light reflecting off an object and getting under your helmet.
Or you just didn’t pay attention to the guy welding all day in the next bay is affecting you, I few little flashes here and there add up at the end of the night. I think I have had it 3 times in the last 20 years. I use to laugh at the welders that work with me when they got it ...... till I got it LOL
