EE was replacing a starter in the MCC room. EE was removing the ground wire from the damaged starter when the wire accidentally touched the back of the starter next to it; there was a flash/spark. EE complained of seeing spots but continued to work and finished his shift. The next day EE informed us that his eyes were bothering him and he was going to see a doctor.
