hello everybody.

i welded my dp today for about 2 min's or so without a mask, its been 6 hours or so and my vision is very blurry with tears all over the place and the eyes are red

what can i do besides a good night sleep?

best regards


here is a pic..... (dont know it the eyes in the pic are red because i bearly see)

 

should i use some vision drops?

 

Why the hell would you weld without a mask

 

Go see an optometrist, they have a creme for that stuff. I know a guy that got that b/c his eyes were sensitive even though he was using a mask.

 

supposedl you can cut thin slices of potatoes and put it on your eyes.

 

Go to the hospital because it only gets worst....and don't try and drive yourself ....
And yes the cream at that they will give you will feel kinda weird in your eyes but soon it will be your savior....

but seriously WHAT THE FARK WERE YOU THINKING????????????

Go get your eyes checked.....now......

And no to the eye drops...

 

Lincoln would make millions if they made autodarkening contact lenses.

PUT A MASK ON JACKASS! How the hell did you even see what the hell you were doing?

I hope that was a joke. The mask is to protect your skin too. I can't imagine skin cancer being anymore pleasant than burning your eyes with ultraviolet light.

What's so tough about slapping on a helmet and gloves? Any exposed skin can be cooked pretty fast while welding, make sure to wear a long sleeved shirt and pants too (I know welding in your boxers is fun but it's dangerous ).

 

WOW. seriously just go drop like 20 bucks on a harbour frieght piece of crap mask before you hurt yourself more dude.

Not to mention the white of your eyes can get burned too. Photokeratitus, got that **** when I went snowboarding without shades/goggles. Looked like a demon boy

 

Ive got this patch of skin on my arm about the size of a pea; it looks like a skin-colored scab, but about once a week, I can peel a layer of dead skin off. Sound like cancer? Wish I had health insurance....
So yes, dont do this!

&lt;---- who is going to regret it.

 

you can also get a potato, cut some 1/4 inch slices off it, kinda like half dollar size, lay down a put those on top of your eyes. dont know the scientific property but my mom use to do it for my dad when i was young, and he told me it works. hes been welding for like 30 years.


but seriously, wear a mask

 

why didnt you at least turn your head and look away?

you deserve this....

 

Other then not knowing how to use a shift key, he types well for not being able to see.

 

wow man.... go to the hospital. I've heard people who can't sleep because of sever flash burn who just get wasted and sleep it off... but crap...

 

Go to the hospital, get a big *** bottle of asprin for the horrable headache you are going to have in the morning and USE A DAMN MASK.

They make masks and welding jackets and gloves for a reason.

 

if you squeeze my potatoe hard enough I might be able to get some creme in your eye...dumb ***. I have no simpathy for stupidity...but I do have time to make wise cracks when your eyes get better make sure your put the down pipe on while the engine is running...all I can say is WHY!?!

 

say hello to a free trip to blindness. was it tig or mig? no sympathy for stupidity...

 

jerk off in your hand and slap your self in teh face for being so stupid

 

WOW, at least use the auto darkening eyelids. Thats just insane.....natural selection I guess

 

well after tommytoes massage i went stright to the hospital,
everything is ok now...thay gave me some cream and after 10 mins everything went back to normal

conclusion: NEXT TIME STOP THE WELDING IF YOU DONT HAVE A MASK

i got used to my electronic darkning mask....but i was ar work and we have there only the regular mask and i cant see $hit with it,

You dont need to look at the keyboard to type. + its too close to miss.

Welding without a mask is dumb as hell I read in some way when you do that you can havea syptom where it feels like sand is in your eyes but there isn't go see a doctor ASAP.

So yes, dont do this!</TD></TR></TABLE>

During the summer when it's hot all of my welders bust out the short sleeves and the suntan lotion. It blocks UV from your torch just as well as the UV from the sun.
My best pipe guy who welds at 250A all day uses No-Ad in the purple bottle. No skin cancer/burns so far!

 

my face gets burnt on a weekly basis probably, just bc of the nature of the welding i do, but i am smart enough to know how to at least close my eyes, but getting flashed occasionally is near impossible around my work
