While welding the engine mounts onto my airframe Sunday, a small spark managed to find its way through the tiny vent holes in the top of my welding goggles, bounced off my glasses, and into my left eye. It became more annoying as time went on, so yesterday afternoon I went to the local opthamologist. He found it easily and removed it. He also found rust, which can promote infection, so he used a very small rotary tool to remove the rust. Yes, he ground my eyeball with a "Dremel" tool, lol. The local anesthetic made it painless, until it wore off. Vision has returned to normal this morning, so all is well.
The bill was $70. I think I'll spend the next $70 to get a better pair of welding goggles.
