In this article, I’m going to cover everything you should know about welding lenses for MIG welding and how to protect your eyes. Over the years I’ve burnt my eyes several times from welding and not having the correct welding lens can solve a lot of the problem. However, the more amperage you are using the darker the shade you will want to have to avoid burning your eyes. The higher the number the darker the shade will be. What shade of welding lens should you use for MIG welding? It’s recommended that you use between a shade 10 to a shade 13 welding lens to prevent flash burn on your eyes.

When I was first getting started as a welder I often wondered what shade lens I should be using for my welding helmet so I don’t burn my eyes from the welding flash.
