Interventions/Control_1

A commercially available 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp (Care222) or a dummy irradiation device (incorporating an optical LED in place of the 222 nm Far-UVC lamp) is irradiated to the eyes of the study subjects watching the movie at 3.0 micro-W/cm2 & 22 mJ/cm2. The irradiation duration was 3 hours, of which 2 hours were irradiated by the 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp and 1 hour by the dummy irradiation device.

Interventions/Control_2

A commercially available 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp (Care222) or a dummy irradiation device (incorporating an optical LED in place of the 222 nm Far-UVC lamp) is irradiated to the eyes of the study subjects watching the movie at 3.0 micro-W/cm2 & 11 mJ/cm2. The irradiation duration was 3 hours, of which 1 hours were irradiated by the 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp and 2 hours by the dummy irradiation device.

Interventions/Control_3

A commercially available 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp (Care222) or a dummy irradiation device (incorporating an optical LED in place of the 222 nm Far-UVC lamp) is irradiated to the eyes of the study subjects watching the movie at 1.0 micro-W/cm2 & 11 mJ/cm2. The irradiation duration was 3 hours, all with 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamps.

Interventions/Control_4

A commercially available 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp (Care222) or a dummy irradiation device (incorporating an optical LED in place of the 222 nm Far-UVC lamp) is irradiated to the eyes of the study subjects watching the movie at 1.0 micro-W/cm2 & 5.5 mJ/cm2. The irradiation duration was 3 hours, of which 1.5 hours were irradiated by the 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp and 1.5 hours by the dummy irradiation device.

Interventions/Control_5

A commercially available 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamp (Care222) or a dummy irradiation device (incorporating an optical LED in place of the 222 nm Far-UVC lamp) is irradiated to the eyes of the study subjects watching the movie at 0.5 micro-W/cm2 & 5.5 mJ/cm2. The irradiation duration was 3 hours, all with 222 nm Far-UVC disinfection lamps.

Interventions/Control_6

A dummy irradiation device (incorporating an optical LED instead of a 222 nm Far-UVC lamp) is irradiated to the eyes of the study subjects. The irradiation duration is 3 hours.
