     I have heard that this involves wearing a series of contact
lenses that 'trains' your eye to the correct position.  It seems to
work well for most people.  The only drawbacks are that after your
eyes are 'corrected', you may have to wear some contacts periodically
to keep the eyes in the proper shape.  The other drawback (if you
consider it a drawback) is that the process is rather expensive,
in that the series of lenses have to all be custom made for you.
How expensive?  It was >= $2,000  a few years ago.
