Hello
It seems from the history that your 2 year old daughter is having refractive error in the form of astigmatism with power of -2. This is myopic astigmatism and the treatment is by the sue of spectacles.
Since the refractive error changes rapidly in children she needs to use spectacles regularly and need to attend eye examination to look for any changes and correction accordingly.
Taking a diet rich in Vitamin A helps to prevent progression of the refractive error.

Thank you
