Using only a small voltage of direct current, a custom reshaping lens, and gentle pressure, a noninvasive surgical technique has been developed for correcting corneal refractive errors. To date, this method has only been tested on rabbit cadavers, but scientists are hopeful this method could one day replace more invasive, costly procedures like LASIK.
