    It is a good idea if you're doing a lot of it, say more than three
    or four heats/day or any time you work with platinum or palladium the
    heat required is such than an appreciable amount of energy is lost to
    far blue/UV radiation neither of which is any good for your eyes. 

    BTW I would recommend shade 6, not much darker visually, but they
    make a big difference over shade 5.... 

    Oh and untill they perfect eye transplants I don't think it's
    possible to over protect your eyes. Just my opinion, YMMV. 

Cheers, Thomas.
