Hello
It seems from the history that your daughter is having black floater in the visual field.
Floaters are normal and harmless and are because of opacities in the vitreous.
You need to worry if the floaters increase or associated with flashes of light.
However it is better that she gets examination by ophthalmologist to rule out any of the vitreous related problems.
Thank you
