Thanks, Kenton...

    There is a difference between them, yes. I only use propane at this
    point, and have had the experience of seeing spots, and had
    faded/bright vision (the world is covered in a brightish haze of
    light)...no, I don't believe it was supernatural. My eye doctor has
    said ANY exposure to a torch flame, even if it isn't as hot, can
    cause flash burns...the UV rays make it more likely, but ANY (her
    emphasis) flame, especially when lighting, could cause it. 

    I do not like working with dark glasses on over my glasses, and so
    have been researching options in prescription optical wear. 

    Working in jewelry means I need to see to accomplish what I wish (at
    least that's the only way I know how to do it.) Better safe than
    sorry.
