Researchers have developed a potential alternative to LASIK surgery that corrects vision without the use of lasers. The new method, called electromechanical reshaping (EMR), uses electrical currents and a platinum contact lens to alter the shape of the cornea.
The incident took place when a power supply cable to a neighbouring house fell on the victims' home. A rod supporting this cable bent, causing electrical current to transfer to the tin shed of the victims' house, police officials said.
