Myopia is caused by a mix of insufficient daytime bright light exposure and too much near-work, an effect which is even more severe if one wears glasses to correct it. The eyeball 1) over time adapts shape to compensate for defocus, and 2) has a daily dopamine release cycle important for the maintenance of its function that hinges on bright light exposure. Surgery isn't a "cure", it's a post-fact hacky fix for a preventable disease.
