Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your daughter is having refractive error in the form of astigmatism requiring glasses.
This cannot be cured by diet or oral medicines. However intake of food rich in vitamin A is helpful for growth of the eye. But this will not cure astigmatism it requires use of glasses.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
