Anyone know of a pair of glasses i could use to take the glare off when soldering. The brightness is giving me migraines. i don't want anything that would stop me from seeing what's going on.

It is probably a mistake to use any old tinted glasses, which might encourage you to stare at the flame without protecting against infra red and ultra violet
There are safety glasses for welding and kiln work here, suggest you choose shade 3:

I only have the problem with Platinum and sometimes Gold, I just use my Oxy acetylene welding goggles they are shade 5
Is the higher the shade number the darker the lens?
What about Didy's as worn for lampwork? I know they're specifically for soda flare, but they do a lot to reduce general glare and certainly keep everything else pretty sharp.

Though it all gets a bit tricky when one is short sighted, has hopeless multifocals that I'm sure are great for using a mobile phone but are rubbish for work, and need magnification as well. I had a fantastic didy shield that I used to use for soldering as well as glass but somebody borrowed it and it never came back![]()
