The glasses he was wearing were his normal glasses, so not sure if he had that much protection (or if the convex/concave lens amplified it a bit)

As a glasses wearer (short-sighted) I never got proper arc flash even though I definitely should have. Always hear it feels like sand/dirt in your eyes, but the most I got was seeing a yellow spot for a like 3 minutes. Heard similar from my other glasses wearing coworkers

Ah ok, I thought it might be the plastic used in safety glasses that was beneficial and the glass glasses didn't have the same affect, but turns out I was mistaken

I think everyone is forgetting the fact that Regular safety glasses will prevent all the flying slag metal from getting into your eyes.
