Welding is dangerous for several reasons. One of the most notable risks of welding is the effect that the bright lights emitted while welding can have. The light emitted while welding contains ultraviolet and infrared rays. As a result, looking at this light without proper gear could be dangerous. But can you go blind from welding?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Welding can cause cataracts, which if left unchecked, can lead to blindness. These cataracts gradually cause the clouding of the lenses of the eyes. However, cataracts are not the only cause of blindness. Age-related macular degeneration can also cause blindness, just like cataracts, which is related to UV radiation that can result from welding.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
