Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter has been given two different prescriptions by two doctors.
It is important to use the accurate prescription to prevent problems with over correction or under correction.
The use of more power leads to visual problems, headache, progression of the refractive error.

Hence In advice you to get correct prescription and use the same.

Thank you
