Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
Your daughter is having refractive error. Refractive errors tend to change with the growing age as the eye ball also shows growth.
As of now she needs to wear spectacles regularly and get her eyes tested once in a year to look for any variation.
Since the power is in lower range this may decrease as the age increases.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
