What are the limitations of the rodent studies? Two ways I could imagine them being inadequate:
Rodent eyes are smaller and the physical scale of relevant features matters a lot for how damaging far UV-C is (although I would naively guess that smaller eyes are if anything worse for this, so if the rodents do fine then I’d think the humans would too).
Rodents can’t follow detailed instructions or provide subjective reports, so some kinds of subtle vision impairments we wouldn’t be able to notice.
Do either of these apply, or are the limitations in these studies from other factors?
