One other thing that you should be doing is wearing Safety Glasses under
your helmet.
In addition to keeping your eyes intact when chipping, grinding, and free
from flying slag, real ANSI-rated "Safety Glasses" are UV blocking. It's
the UV that really messes you up.

Watch out. While I agree that safety glasses are a requirement under a
welding helmet, those glasses _certainly_ aren't made to protect your eyes
against the UV from a welding arc (maybe against the sun, however).
