The only positive thing i can say is that you've learned a good lesson that you probably won't ever forget. Protect those eyes, you've only got two of them! Hope you're feeling better now.

NEVER weld without eye protection. I recommend safety glasses AND a welding helmet with the appropriate lens. A #10 shade is a pretty good starting point. I try to use a #11 or #12 if i'm welding with high amps. On thin metal/low amps i'll go to a #10 or only rarely a #9. Even though it was just a little welder, as you've found out it still produces plenty of ultraviolet light that will harm your eyes. I'm glad you're okay, but I sure hope you never weld without a welding helmet again! Wow Josh, you’re really lucky that it wasn’t worse. NEVER weld without eye protection.
