ran a vertical mh for a month.
i still have slight eyeproblems (mostly at night.)
kinda like a touch of snow blindness, a hint of a white glare in my vision.
i think good uv glasses are the order of the day in such circumstances, that or turning the light off.
btw, i used a plate to have between me and the mh, whenever i worked in the room.
these albeit slight eyeproblems are after maybe 3 instances of looking near the light.
oh yeah, and its been 3 months since.

My local store is ehydroponics.com I think they are normally $150.hi these good with m.h, too, any special name and numbers to order.
Being that these glasses filter out reds and oranges, I don't see much difference when I am in my veg room. Since most vert, including mine, is done horizontal, protecting your eyes is much less of a concern. Bare bulb HPS is brutal as you know...

I love to hunt bucks and you need good vision. I have the nick name eagle eye due to me being extremely far sighted. I was having focus problems and slight night blindness but the worst was the headaches that I never tied to being around mh and hps lamps. Since protecting my eyes for six to nine months my focus has come back and though the night blindness is not gone yet it is going. I never look at the lamp or reflector when working either.
Great thread. I wear glasses so does anyone know if the welding goggles will fit over them? I turn my dimmable lights down and unplug one but I will try to be even more careful after reading this thread. I was thinking about adding a switch to each receptacle so I don't have to unplug them.
I always use sunglasses outside when sunny because my eyes are light sensitive. I like the hiking mountain glasses like these. Glacier Glasses

They may not be dark enough if you don't have dimmable lights or turn a few off.

I can attest for damage with HPS / CFL lighting and it's not that fun.
I was a "Pro" gamer for 4 years, with an MPM (Moves per minute) well above 600. (SC)
Now I have to shut off the tv after about 1-2 hours game play. Under 30 here people!

I just went vert a couple weeks ago. At first I double stacked some cheap sunglasses but they didn't help at all haha. I ended up dropping some cash on the method sevens and I really like them. I can see my plants better and my eyes actually feel relaxed when I wear them.

i moved from welding gogs to M7s and im finding alot more problems since.
i moved back to welding gogs.

I just switched to vert and am already noticing, I am killing my eyes when I open the door everytime... almost makes me not want to look in there... I need some glasses ASAP, the m7's are expensive as hell but I have seen some suggest the Lumii glasses or just Shade 5 welding glasses... what is the general consensus? Maybe double stack them? Lol
