Hello
It seems from the history that your 6 year daughter is having -.75 cylindrical in right eye and Left eye Spherical +1.75 & cylindrical -3.50.
This indicates refractive error and your daughter requires correction in the form of spectacles.
The refractive error is a common problem in children and treatment is by using glasses. She needs to take vitamin A rich foods and get eyes examined once in a year to look for any change in the refractive error.
If she uses her spectacles regularly no problem will occur.
Thank you
