The tear film is often regarded as the eye’s first line of defense, protecting against dust, microbes, and environmental stressors. Traditionally, it has also been thought to provide a degree of shielding against ultraviolet radiation, including Far-UVC. However, recent findings suggest that its ability to absorb Far-UVC may be far more limited than previously assumed.…
