Your cornea (the outside of your eye) is curved like a magnafing glass. It focuses the light on your retina.( the nerves in the back of your eye).Your retina is the consitancy of wet toilet paper and burns easily. You burned and killed part of you retina ever time you recieved welders flash. Every flash kills some nerves and leaves you blind in that spot reducing your vision. How much vision you choose to kill is up to you. I think the pain you feel is just sunburn on the cornea and it heals well but your retina you can't feel. It cooks in silence. Cateracts is the hardening and discoloration of the intrnal lens of the eye. As soon as the doctor says you are a candidate for surgery and insurance will pay get it done. This is the most common sugery performed in the US today. Just find a doctor that has done them for years and performs them more than once a week. This is the buisness I am in and have seen some poor part time cateract cowboys. Ears dye slow from extended 100db sound level. Keep you shooters muffs near your grinders and hammers in the shop and just get in the habit.
