Question

Can you go blind if you see welding sparkles for a second?

Answer 1

No!! Common misconseption, you can look at them for a while.... From far away, if you are smart, you'll get a welding mask.

Answer 2

the sparkles {stuff that flies off welded area} won't do much of anything. The actual weld area will cause blindness if stared at for a long period of time. Just taking a quick look won't do anything except maybe irritate your eyes.

Answer 3

No you go blind from jerking off and then you grow hair on your palms.

Answer 4

no I can still see

Answer 5

No, I worked as a welder for several years, but if you look at the arc, it will burn you eyes, and it feels like you have sand in your eyes for 4 to 5 days.

Answer 6

no one cannot go blind by lookin into the welding sparkles for a second. it will cause a small period of blindness caused by excessive brightness, something similar to what happens when we look into the sun for a while.
