Every job has its risks, but some require more protection than others. Take welding as an example – given that it’s to do with joining metals together, like aluminium parts, it’s a process that relies on a lot of use of heat and pressure. Since there are arcs that result from this joining, doing everything you can to protect the eyes is considered a necessary safety measure. 

What happens if you don’t wear glasses when welding? Let’s just say eye injuries are guaranteed. As to what kind and how severe, it depends on the level of exposure. The radiant energy that’s the result of the welding causes a condition known as welders’ eye or welders’ flash, which is the injury to the surface, the conjunctiva. 

Not to mention, there’s flying metal debris you need to beware too. Besides pain, swelling, and blurry vision, temporary blindness, more serious UV radiation (as bright as the sun) and exposure to metal dust can also lead to permanent blindness. Why go through this risk, when you can get the protection you need from a hard-coated and anti-fog welding lens created to shield your eyes?
