Myopia is caused by light being focused in front of the retina (usually because the eye is too long), so it makes sense that compressing the eye reduces blurriness. But doing so long term seems like a really bad idea: you are increasing intraocular pressure, and that is known to cause glaucoma [1]. I would also be concerned about short term effects of such experimentation. You may be causing bleeding or other damage. No need to tempt fate.
