hi sheeba , your daughter is having what is called photophobia.the problem can be due to lesion in cornea or inner eye.this is common with children watching screen like tv or computer for long hours.since she doesnot have problems with vision, try some eye exercises in morning after getting up from bed.avoid tv more than 1 hour/day.ask her to clean eyes with water before going to bed.try these remedies.sure she will be relieved of her problem.good day
