Clutching at straws

I'm wondering if there are any other surgical methods that are allowed. I know that LASIK and Intra Ocular Lenses are 'allowed', meaning that Gatwick consider them on a case by case basis, but it is not clear if I'm suitable for either of those.

Does anyone know of any other plausable treatment that might be worth looking into? I remember seeing one on TV where they made slits in the eyeball to change its shape. Do the CAA/JAA allow that? I've also heard about hard contact lenses that change the shape of the eyeball, if only temporarily.
