Thanks for your answers. He didn't experience the pain until 3am as it woke him up during the night. After putting eye drops in his eyes and sleeping until morning, he went to the doctors and he said he should be fine now. Thanks again.

Call the local ER and ask, it's the best place to get an answer. He may even have to go in and get checked out. The eyes could easily have been hurt. Good luck.

You'd better get him up to an ER right away for flash burn, he'll have to have professional treatment or he'll go blind. I have seen this happen in the ER, foolish people have just a little to do but, it causes "flash burn" like looking at the sun with your eyes open.

Listen this is an old wifes tale but it really works,,, I use to date a welder and when he got "arch" he would cut potato's and place them over his eyes,, sounds goofy I know but it really helped him out,,, and never never ever do this again use a helmet with welding glasses!

Try using eye drops. Try soaking your eyes in water. Man it really hurts, i know. The more eye drops you waste the better. Try putting something below your eyes but not directly such as vicks, you probably will be a cry baby. If your going to sleep put a cold wet towel in your eyes. But if you cant bear it anymore why not consult a doctor.

Dude!
He could have burned his retinas. The spark from an arc welder can be as bright as the sun.
Take him to an emergency room, no matter how macho he tries to be.

go see a doctor and make sure there are no metal fragments in the eye.
