## Narrative

While at his residence the employee woke up early in the morning to discover his eyes had sustained flash burns from performing extensive weld work over the last 3 days.  The damage over time was either sustained from reflection while working in close proximity to another welder, or from a small gap that was identified in his welding hood.
