Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
the right eye power 6/6 is normal.
Left eye power is abnormal. she is suffering from hypermetropia as well as astigmatism.
The power is not very high and it can be managed by constant use of glasses.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
I shall be happy to answer any more queries.
