Hows ur eyes!

Has anyone tried the Method 7 knock-offs available on amazon for like 30 bucks? I need something else, decent, regular sunglasses don't really cut it for me anymore.

Worth it? Or should I put the 30 towards some M7's because I would be wishing I had anyways?
Method 7 glasses are for color correction in HPS light only. They will not protect your eyes from excess light intensity. They say they have UV protection, but that by itself isn't enough.

You need real sunglasses, preferably polarized. The grade 5 welding shades might work, but really- if you have to be in there with it for more than thirty seconds, just shut the fucker off.

Wear sunglasses at least.

I got severe burns from welding. Feels like sand in your eyes.

Fyi peel a potato and put it over your eyes, it is good for retina burns.

Thanks, Tty, I wasn't aware they were just color correction, I thought it was more direct filtration, I'll stick with my shades then and look into some welding goggles next time I'm at harbor freight. I use some polarized shades now and they work but I dont think they will be quite as effective once I drop another 4kw in this weekend.
