Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that your 6 year old grand daughter is having 20/200 vision even with her glasses.
This requires evaluation and the probable causes for less vision are
Pathological myopia
ambylopia
retinal dystrophies

Hence she requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause for her poor vision.
Hence I advice you to consult pediatric ophthalmologist for further examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
