    Heat is heat, true. But there's a 1,000*F difference in temperature
    between oxy-propane and oxy-acetelyne. The flame you see with
    oxy-acetelyne is the same temperature as the surface of the sun,
    which means it's radiating far more into the ultra-violet range than
    a oxy-propane flame is. The energy level is higher. 

    And it was precisely that the flame of the oxy- acetelyne left spots
    in front of my eyes that I started calling the welding shops and
    ultimately my eye doctor to inquire about the necessity of UV
    blocking lenses. 

    The spots were my first warning sign.
