Methods

Rabbits were exposed to MMWs at frequencies of 40,p q ,75, and 95 GHz for 6 minutes.

One day after exposure morphological changes in theOne day after exposure, morphological changes in thecornea were assessed by slit-lamp microscopy(including fluorescence staining) and optical(including fluorescence staining) and opticalcoherence tomography.

D d t f l i j ( lDose-response data of corneal injury (cornealepithelium damage, corneal opaque, and cornealedema) at each frequency were obtained byedema) at each frequency were obtained byexperiments in the range of power density.

• The values of MMW power density which indicate thethreshold of eye damage were defined as damage dose (DD).

• Markers plotted in each graph denote dependence of the ratio• Markers plotted in each graph denote dependence of the ratioof eye damage to the number of exposed eyes to the powerdensity (dose) obtained from actual MMW exposureexperiments.experiments.– The number of rabbit eyes at each power density corresponds to

the marker size. (If the marker size is large, the number of eyesexposed to MMW is large )exposed to MMW is large.)
