Surgery: Unfortunately, surgery is really the only way, but you may or may not be a candidate and i would weigh the risks and benefits. Another way is something called orthokeratology, but it is not a permanent fix and it is hard to find someone who does it, but that is a non-invasive and reversible solution too.
