Narrative

Employee was welding on a service truck using an older welding hood. He did not see any bright flashes through the hood while welding through out the day. When he left for home he was not having any problems with his eyes. Around 9:00 pm his eyes started burning so he put in some eye drops. He woke up around 2:00 am and his eyes hurt and he could hardly see.
