Back in the 60s (pre-OSHA!) my grandpa was a welder. First day on the job he didn't have PPE for his eyes and just shrugged and kept going. The next day his eyes were so burnt he could barely open them and it took something like a week or two to recover. Doctor told him it was like getting really bad sunburn directly on your eyes.
