Yes, you can get welder's flash (also known as arc eye) from torching, but it is less common than with electric arc welding. Torching, such as oxy-acetylene cutting, produces a bright flame that emits some ultraviolet (UV) light, which can still damage your eyes if proper eye protection is not used. Always wear appropriate safety goggles to protect your eyes when torching.
