It seemed to me that the many of the wizards in that world both lacked common sense and were lazy, which is not a good combination for innovation. But my headcanon is something to do with the eyes themselves (given Mad-Eye Moody, maybe they can't regrow eyes if you make a mistake), seeing as how James did seem to have money but still had glasses and Dumbledore had a lot of power and also had glasses. Trelawny had those Coke-bottle glasses, so maybe it has to do with a different kind of vision that somehow magically ties into eyes.

Based on the whole thing with Hermione’s teeth and how her having her buck teeth fixed was treated as something subversive, it’s more likely that they could magically fix eyes and just had some kind of moral hangup over magically altering one’s appearance for one’s own benefit.

Joanne thinks changing your birthbody in any way is lying and deceitful.

In HP canon, it’s a reasonable enough interpretation of the text based on the “good people are naturally attractive and bad people are ugly and try to hide it with makeup and fancy clothes” thing she has going throughout the entire series, combined with polyjuice potion almost always being used for evil and Remus the Self-Loathing Werewolf being the only werewolf in Europe who isn’t a violent child predator.

In real life, the source would be JKR’s own words and actions on the subject, which are easy enough to google if you’re no longer patronizing the nazi bar that Twitter has become since the Muskening.

I haven't really been in HP fandom for years now, but my recollection is that was actually the official explanation, albeit from an interview or something and not on the page... that the eyes were such a delicate and complicated thing that magic wasn't precise enough to do it properly or reliably.
