Long term effects of a too strong glasses perscription

What are the effects of a too strong glasses perscription on a kid against myopia? I'm talking about around a -0.25 difference (but not more than -0.50). So e.g. instead of getting a -2.0 he got a -2.5 or -2.25. Will that affect the shape of the eyeball so it adjusts to the overcorrection?
