    MMMMM Tetracaine

    Burned my eyes for the first time yesterday. What misery, hurts open and hurts more closed. Its time to drop welding, maybe I should become an optometrist and set up near my welding supply store! Any good home remedys out there if this happens again?

      Sorry to hear that you got hurt. I realize this is a bit late, but you may want to consider wearing UV rated safety glasses at all times. I even wear them under my hood when welding. From a medical perspective there are no home remedies. If you get a burn to your eyes you should ALWAYS be checked out by a professional. IMHO you only have two eyes so is it worth taking a chance on a "home remedy"? How did it happen? I hope you feel better.
      Take care,
      Nick

        Hit your hand with your heavy hammer as hard as you can, then you'll forget about your eyes.

          Ditto. Cheap insurance. I can't say how many times I've heard stuff bounce off the safety glasses when I never would have expected it. Plus, polycarbonate will protect your eyes from any reflected UV even if it gets under the hood.

            Cut a raw potato in halve & put one piece over each eye, cut part toward the eye ball of course.

              good point about the UV safty glasses, i got a nice pair from cyberweld, light blue lense, easy to see with them on inside or out and hey give that lil bit of extra protection.
              seeing an eye doc. is probly a good idea also, they may perscribe some steroids to help speed the healing process.

                Burnt Eye's

                I think all people in the steel trades has done this 5 or 8 times weather it's your fault or not. I use pontocaine from the eye doctor I haven't had to use it now for quite some time but I do have it around in the house and in the truck.Good luck
