Yes, bogus. This is something that there have been many scientific studies on. Randomly do different levels of sight correction for kids, and look at what happens. Obviously these can't be double blind studies, so this is the best we can get. There simply is no evidence there of glasses making myopia worse.

In fact, in a famous case they had to abort the study early due to ethical grounds. The vision for the (uncorrected) control group was degenerating so much faster that they felt compelled to give everyone the correct prescription.
