Ophthalmologist 's  Response
she is myopic. not neccessarily child will always inherit it from parents .there are other factors also responsible.
since power is more in both eyes and specially in Left eye(cylinder) my advice to you is encourage her to wear spectacles to prevent squint and amblyopia.encourage her to eat healthy food and green leafy vegetables.
regular wear of spects may help her
