Yup, first time I got flashed was when I was ten. Uncle was welding under my moms car with a stick welder. He said several times, dont look at the welding. I was ten and stupid (he shoulda made sure also). I watched on and off for a lil bit. Not even directly, just glimpsing at it. Felt fine, till that night. Eyes were sore, heavy and super tired. Like you said. It was like my eyes were coated in sand and I couldnt clear them. Better the next day but what a learning experience. Only takes once with that. JR
