YES IT IS CALLED A FLASH BURN AND HURTS REALLY BAD
IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE SAND IN YOUR EYES THAT YOU CANNOT GET OUT YOUR EYES FEEL LIKE THERE ON FIRE AND YOU CAN GO BLIND FROM IT
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION OF DARK TINTED SAFETY GLASS WHEN WELDING
BECAUSE WHEN OR IF YOU EVER GET A FLASH BURN YOU WILL NEVER FORGET HOW BAD IT HURT

Looking directly at the welding flash is the same damage you can receive from looking directly at the sun, if not worse. Looking directly at that bright of a light can permanently burn your corneas and cause permanent blindness. I have to agree, just don't do it.

A new Marine Captain was assigned to an outfit in a remote post in the Afghanistan Desert. During his first inspection of the outfit, he noticed a Camel hitched up behind the mess tent. He asks the Sergeant why the camel is kept there. The nervous sergeant said, "Well sir, as you know, there are 250 men here on the post and no women. And sir, sometimes the men have "urges". That's why we have Molly the Camel." The Captain says, "I can't say that I condone this, but I understand about "urges", so the camel can stay." About a month later, the Captain starts having his own "urges". Crazy with passion, he asks the Sergeant to bring the camel to his tent. Putting a ladder behind the camel, the Captain stands on the ladder, pulls his pants down and has wild, insane sex with the camel. When he's done, he asks The Sergeant, "Is that how the men do it?" "No not really, sir. They usually just ride the camel into town......where the girls are."

I did what you are asking, trust me on this, welding with out a welding helmet is suicide, infact even when you are passing by from on of these welding lights, you should cover your eyes.

not sore, really, but it can seriously burn your retnas after only a few seconds. After minimal exposure, you will see a spot in your eye, for a while, and then after a few seconds longer, that spot will become permanent. Even longer than that, and you will burn your entire retna. Don't look at it.

Yes.
The intencity of the light is too much for your eyes. It's like staring at the sun for a prolonged period of time.
