They differ in that he normally doesn't wear glasses! I think he's longsighted or something. And when I say my eyesight is better than his, I have to wear glasses all the time, but I seem to be able to see better when using the MIG, but only marginally. My eyes just have a few less miles on them, I think.

I always have the brightest light I have shining on the area I'm welding... I think it takes less time for your eyes to adjust between welding and not welding
