Hello
It seems from the history that your 3 year old daughter is diagnosed with cylindrical power. This indicates refractive error in the form of astigmatism.
Refractive errors in children have to be assessed under cycloplegia with atropine as accommodation is very active in children.
Hence your doctor is correct in asking for atropine refraction.
Thank you
