Corneal safety assessment of germicidal far UV-C radiation

Abstract Far UV-C radiation (200–240 nm) is a promising alternative to conventional UV-C for disinfection in occupied spaces, offering strong germicidal efficacy with reduced skin risk. However, its ocular safety remains unclear, as most studies relied only on non-human corneal models with physiolog...
