I have perfect eyesight according to doctors.

Not for much longer if you continue to look directly at an arc.

Why don't you ask the same doctor what he thinks of you not wearing
any
mask while arc welding?

I wouldn't for a long time, I was just wondering whether short term
exposure was bad.

Certainly, everything is relative.

Damage is pretty quick, with progressive exposure causing less and less
damage, where finally there are no more rods and cones to destroy.

Once a dead cell, always a dead cell.

Anyone versed in arc welding, or ophthalmology will tell you it is
wise to
wear appropriate eye protection and that you are pretty stupid if you
ignore such advice.


Yebut, he IS pretty stupid. Let him get on with it. I'm surprised he gets
any replies other than ones taking the ****.
He has a degree you know? No, really.
LMFAO


I think for myself.


Clearly not very hard with no concern for your eyes.

I require a reason not to do something not just a
command.


Smart people learn best by other's mistakes. Clearly you are not smart.
