When I was welding for a living at the frame plant, we had shaded safety glasses PLUS our auto-darkening helmets. The helmets were adjustable to a darker shade if need be...and now that I'm at home using my regular prescription glasses, I need a darker shade than I used in the plant.
Still, even with that, sometimes welders got "flashed"...happened sometimes when the batteries on the helmets died just as we were starting a weld. The old-school remedy they told us was to go home and put fresh-cut slices of potato over the eyes. If it was a REALLY bad flash, the person involved would be sent to the hospital ER...since I never went, I'm not sure what they did there.
Other than that, I'm not sure there's any help. The dark safety glasses I believe were a shade 2 green...you could read a newspaper with 'em, but not in low-light conditions.
