Essential personal protective equipment (PPE) made especially for those doing cutting and welding tasks are welding safety eyewear. These essential eye protection goggles shield the wearer's eyes from heat, flying debris, extreme UV and IR light, and other welding-related risks. Welders run the danger of major eye injuries including photokeratitis, also referred to as welder's flash, which can result in excruciating agony and momentary blindness if they don't wear the correct eye protection.
