Deforming eye a la pixar?

I was looking at a document on pixar research web site…the document on harmonic coordinates for character animation.
http://graphics.pixar.com/library/HarmonicCoordinatesB/paper.pdf [graphics.pixar.com]
On page 6 there's an exemple of a deforming eye, but the pupil and iris of the eye stay round all the time.
I was actually wondering if anybody's knows a way to actually get the same effect within houdini by any means possibles…to have a deforming eye with the pupil/iris keeping a round shape, while the white part is streched.
or do you absolutely need harmonic coordinates to get that kind of effect?
Anyone? Thanks!

thanks varomix!
simple but efficient, it could actually drive a displacement map to fake a modeled eye…nice!
Anybody with a solution using a “highres” modeled eye?
