It seems to be due to dryness resulting from overusage of mobile. Since it is her timepass Hence i will suggest you to restrict the use of mobile and laptop and spare your time to play with her . Otherwise it may be injurious to ,not only her eyes but also to her physical and mental health. As of now you can do cold compresses by ice and put some lubricant eye drops eg teardrops 3to 4times daily and ocupol.dx eye oint to be rubbed twice daily on lids. If any more query ,Please initiate online consultation with anybody
