Not sure what you mean? Do you mean using an arc welder? I've done it and have some experience repairing fences and whatnot with a welder, but maybe I'm not understanding - And maybe that goes to show I'm not qualified to answer the question. ๐Ÿ˜„

Regardless- a little more background as to what exactly you need and what's going on would help us to help you. ๐Ÿ‘

Sorry:

Photokeratitis or ultraviolet keratitis is a painful eye condition caused by exposure of insufficiently protected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from either natural (e.g. intense sunlight) or artificial (e.g. the electric arc during welding) sources. Photokeratitis is akin to a sunburn of the cornea and conjunctiva, and is not usually noticed until several hours after exposure. Symptoms include increased tears and a feeling of pain, likened to having sand in the eyes.

Ah. Got it. Never had it myself- knew a guy it happened to.

I don't know how to treat it, but I know he spent a lot of time rinsing his eyes with water.

Hope everything is okay!

i've only had flash burn once. woke up 2 am and nothing soothes the pain. i went later to the eye doc, for unrelated reasons, and he told me that alcohol was the answer to the pain as the first thing to numb for drinking alcohol was the retina. havent had to try it yet, but thats what he told me.

Had this. Not much to do about it. Can get drops that numbs the eye so that one can see, but other than that its just a waiting game for it to heal up.

Best advice is probably to go lay down and not try to stress the eye further until it has healed sufficiently.

Hubby has it bad :( Heโ€™s asleep at home right now - Iโ€™m working. Water made it worse but we do have the ointment and the narcotics.

Thank you! I have to look into that - maybe once heโ€™s off the narcotics if heโ€™s still in pain. I could sure use a drink myself right about now, though.

They put drops in his eyes at the ER and the opthomologist but didnโ€™t give us any to take home. Only 10 pills and an antibiotic topical gel :( heโ€™s in bed now - the tricky thing will be getting him to stay there and not try to go back to work.

Iโ€™m definitely against any welding, now, though :/

Good choice. No sense in making it worse than it already is.
That said- feel no shame in reminding him in the future if he's going to be welding again. Not wearing eye protection while welding is pretty dumb- no offense to the hubby. ๐Ÿ˜„

If you get drops to take home, you can carry on as normal basically, which can further damage the eye and prolong healing.
There is no need for anything but time.

Its not nice for sure, and hopefully a valuable lesson.

Yeah pain pills allow you to keep working... and that's really not a good thing. I know all about that at my age. You take a pill and you feel like superman and work like you did 20 years ago, then the next day you feel like a train ran over you so you take another pill. Pretty soon you can't get out of bed without a pill and you have damaged your body beyond repair. Stay in bed as long as you can is my advice. The pain is your body's way of telling you to stop doing whatever it is you are doing.

And who the heck arc welds without one of those helmets on? It hurts my eyes just thinking about it. Lesson learned.

My husband is the real life Thor. Heโ€™s a big guy, strong, and thinks he is invincible. He thought he was the exception to the rule about welding with a mask on, I think. He tried to tell me he was coming back to this work site tomorrow and is put off I wonโ€™t let him. Heโ€™s on Percocet and in pain and he canโ€™t sit still!

He will for sure stop taking the pain medication before he should stop. Itโ€™s in his nature. We are total opposites, Iโ€™m a big baby when Iโ€™m sick or hurt.

He wonโ€™t - Andy is the most stubborn man alive. I love his sense of adventure and work ethic, I hate his recklessness and (at times) inflexibility.

Soco - Youโ€™re asking me, right? Andy is not really one for online forums. He is more hands-on and doesnโ€™t like to be in front of a screen for too long. Do you know what he got me for my birthday? He literally built me a solid wooden desk. If someone called him and asked for advice, he would be more than willing to talk to them forever. If someone texted him for advice or sent him something electronically, they probably wouldnโ€™t get a response.

So even though the doctor put in the prescription for his dialating drops, the pharmacy was out and didnโ€™t order them ๐Ÿ˜ก now I have to call several kaiser pharmacies in the morning to see if any of them have it on stock. I feel like this is the only place I can really complain, I canโ€™t be negative around Andy so here it goes...

I got a total of 2 hrs of sleep and have been running around doing my job and Andyโ€™s job all day. My whole body is sore. I was at the ER from 2AM to 4:30 AM and then the doctor from 8AM to 9AM. After I dropped Andy off at home I started working. I worked from 10AM to midnight: the day before that I worked from 9AM to 1AM.

My whole body hurts and my mind is just not functioning properly right now. I have to get up at 4 AM to give Andy meds and then leave at 8AM to go do more construction work. Itโ€™s 12:30 AM right now.

How do I stay positive and not get overwhelmed? How do I stay sharp when I feel so exhausted in every way? I need to be strong for Andy but itโ€™s hard. Any advice? Other than suck it up, buttercup because thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m doing right now.

Suck it up is about where it's at right now. And it's not called welder's arc. Arc welding is a form of welding using electricity and the metal is melted together with the electric arc. I thought maybe it was a colloquialism and maybe it is but Wiki has a bunch of names for it.. you should call it one of these. "Photokeratitis is known by a number of different terms including: snow blindness, arc eye, welder's flash, bake eyes, corneal flash burns, sand man's eye, flash burns, niphablepsia, potato eye, or keratoconjunctivitis photoelectrica."

Arc eye fits but potato eye is kind of more fun. Bake eyes would have been my choice in younger years, ha ha. Now that I'm a self appointed Docteur keratoconjuctivitis photoelectrica suits me just fine.

Andy is part owner of a construction company. Weโ€™re both small business owners - unfortunately that means although we are our own bosses, if we donโ€™t work, we donโ€™t get paid. And itโ€™s the end of the month - rent and health insurance are due now.

So I will try to rest later on tonight hopefully. :( Thank God for family - Andyโ€™s brother Brandon stayed the night and his other brother is helping me at the work site. My parents are coming over tonight with dinner so I donโ€™t have to worry about cooking.

I'm calling it a colloquialism then. I still think if you start calling him potato eye he will start using the eye protection/welder's mask. I'm self employed too, and it's great you only have to work half a day... there are 24 hours in a day work whichever 12 you want. Keep him in bed Araz, and take care of yourself.

It's lovely. It's also lovely to see and speak to genuine people (like Ralphy said) I think we was all different characters and letters when Help.com was around.

It is nice to see actual people! @BA1 Al made my avatar on the old site but I donโ€™t have it anymore. I think maybe I feel more at ease putting up my real picture because I have a few people on Facebook too. Itโ€™s also nice to see familiar names like yours ๐Ÿ˜Š

Araz invited 1 user .

Yeah Big Al has done a couple of avatars for me over the years. I asked for this specific one,it's more blingy and flashy than the other avatar.
I've also got a few help.com people on fb so most people know who I am.
I believe in showing "your true self" when it comes to "help sites" Children should know whom they are confiding in when speaking to adults.๐Ÿ˜Š

Sorry Araz. Pun not intended.

Hey better late than never :)

I haven't started studying welding yet. I spoke to a teacher briefly on an open day in a college and said you shouldn't get arch eye if you use correct eye protection. Thats all I know. I found this video though on youtube.

Bless you Silverset. When this post came up you were the 1st member I thought of. I did not know what it was or that it had a name. Thank you sweetheart!

Thanks silverset! Andy is feeling much better - he was not wearing a mask but he wonโ€™t be making that mistake again!
