Abstract

The study aimed to directly assess the ocular safety of 222-nm far-ultraviolet-C (UVC) irradiation in humans, given the limited clinical trials in this area. This wavelength offers the potential for safe and effective microbial inactivation in occupied spaces, but its safety profile for human eyes requires thorough investigation. This prospective, interventional study involved five subjects aged 29-47 years, who were exposed to 222-nm UVC at doses of 22, 50, and 75 mJ/cm
