Hello....i understand your concern.
Your daughter seems to have symptoms of raised intra cranial tension and papilloedema which can cause blurring of vision and blackouts along with severe headaches.
I suggest you visit a neurologist and get her examined at the earliest
She will need an mri scan of the brain and probably a lumbar puncture( a procedure involving removal of fluid from the spinal canal ).
I hope this helps.
Regards,
