Hello, ideally for kids, once a year eye check up is recommended, as the power changes. Due to present covid crisis, u can postpone. But keep a watch on her. If she is trying to squeeze her eyes to see the tv/computer/mobile or anthing distant, if she keeps rubbing her eyes a lot, watering, or complaints of tired eyes... If these symptoms are there, then try to get her tested earlier.

If she doesn't have any eye related problem like eye strain, headache, itching , redness and she has clear vision with her glasses the visit can be postponed till the Pandemic settles. Also ensure her spectacles are fitting well and are not worn out.
Next Steps
Ensure eye check up once the Pandemic settles
Health Tips
Always keep two set of spectacles. If any issue with the first one ,the spare one can be used. As kids are very playful and tend to break their spectacles
