Hey Enrique! :) An idea could be to fit a NURBS sphere to the shape of your outer eye, then use it to constrain the deformers onto its surface, and finally slide those deformrs using UV coordinates.
I did something like that a whiiiile ago: http://vimeo.com/2466613 In this video the eyes are spherical but they definitely could be anything else.
