Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having poor vision and the cause for poor vision is refractive power and she is having myopic astigmatism in right eye and myopia in left eye.
The treatment as of now is to use spectacles otherwise the refractive error may increase as the age advances. She need to undergo regular check up at least once in a year to find out the changes in the refractive error and change of spectacles.
She can undergo refractive laser surgeries to have spectacle free life once she turns 21 years. Till then she needs to wear spectacles.
Thank you
