    this thread is great and full of info. i wear eyeglasses or contacts
    at all times and read in the archives that, "Most glasses and
    polycarbonates will stop the ultraviolet. So will most contact
    lenses." 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/archive/200305/msg01157.htm 

    does this mean that i'm okay without further eye protection or do i
    need to protect from infrared when soldering with an oxy/acetylene
    torch setup? 

thanks!!
