Are
you into a welding industry? If yes, then there are multiple
activities that call for proper eye protection. To protect your eyes,
welding plates and lenses
have a special role to play. They work best in dealing with the
bright light of the arc, bits of the molten slag that usually jump
from the working area and the flying sparks. While dealing with the
welding activities, it is significant for the welders to protect
their eyes from the harmful debris radiation.
Welding
lenses are available both in glass and plastic. As most of the other
sunglasses are tinted to absorb light while others are polarized or
mirrored to reflect light, welding lenses are also available in
different shades and are also coated in a mirrored gold finish for
ultimate protection against fumes and oxides. Wearing welding lenses
is important because they safeguard your eyes against photokeratitis,
painful sunburn to the cornea which is usually caused by
electromagnetic energy created by a flame or an arc. This form of
radiant energy can severely damage the eyes of workers. The welding
lenses also come with a shade number that offer necessary protection
for the kind of work being done. It is the shade number which tells
how much light radiation can be permitted to pass through the lens
and your eyes of course. The higher the shade number is, the darker
the filter will be and the less light radiation will be permitted to
pass through.
So,
understand the importance of protecting your eyes and use welding
lenses if you into the hard core job of welding.
