    A friend of mine was having the same problem and had a recert. coming up. He solved the problem by trying different magnifying lenses (in the helmet) until he found one that worked. I've been getting by with reading glasses so far, but the weld isn't as easy to see as it usta' be. TIG helps over MIG less smoke & sparks, other than that, dunno.

    I try to keep the lens & lens protective cover changed often too. When I have a hard time seeing the bead a fresh (no scratches & dust) lens & cover can make a big difference.
