Hi
I understand your daughter's problem.It need not necessarily be due to the injury she suffered but always a second opinion with an ophthalmologist or a neurologist is valid. A CT scan usually helps in case of trauma but sometimes an MRI scan proves more informative. It can also be due to refractory error which needs complete evaluation of the power of her eyes and further treatment. Since she's old enough false interpretations of eye test are unlikely.
