: Cataract is still the leading cause of blindness. Its development is well researched for UV radiation. Modern light sources like LEDs and displays tend to emit blue light.

The 254 nm emission of low-pressure vacuum lamps is known for its antimicrobial effect, but unfortunately, this radiation is also harmful to human cells. Some researchers published reports that short-wavelength ultraviolet light in the spectral region of 200-230 nm (far-UVC) should inactivate pathogens without harming human cells, which might be very helpful in many applications.

- This study investigates how light passes through the various layers of the eye, particularly focusing on the porcine (pig) eye model to understand tissue transmission and absorbance.
- It involves measuring the effects of different pressures and wavelengths on the transmission of light through the eyewall and vitreous body of ex vivo porcine eyes.
- Results indicate that both pressure and wavelength significantly affect light transmission, with higher pressures leading to greater transmission, which has important implications for the safety and development of eye treatments using optical radiation.
