General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic forum. I understand your concerns.
These are possible causes that you mention but some other should be considered in this age. Most common are habitual tics and refractive errors so for a start, she should see ophtalmologist and check her sight. If this is fine then neurological examiantion is required since some optic nerve issues may be present. Third, emotional stress and anxiety in piuberty may lead to this too so you should have it on mind.
I hope I have answered your query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
