Hello and welcome to HCM,
Your daughter will have to wear glasses to correct her refractive error.
The changes in refractive power continue till the age of 18 years or till when the body growth takes place.
The refractive error increases till body grows and vision stabilizes after age of 18 tears.
Laser treatment is available if you want to remove the glasses however, that can be planned only when your vision stabilizes.
It is important for daughter to wear glasses since wearing glasses will help to stabilize the vision.
Thanks and take care
