Abstract:

A system and method of eye protection during a welding process comprising the steps of: fabricating a lens, where the lens includes a first degree of shading where the first degree of shading provides a first level of eye protection and a second degree of shading, where the second degree of shading provides a second level of protection, wherein the second level of eye protection shields a user's eye from welding flash rays; inserting photochromic sensing technology in the lens, where the photochromic sensing technology detects welding flash rays; and enabling the second degree of shading of the lens upon the detection of welding flash rays. Further, the second degree of shading continues while the lens is exposed to welding flash rays.
