No at this age one should not go for any surgery to reduce numbers as numbers tend to change till the age of 18 to 20. And anyhow your daughter is having +numbers (hypermetropia) which normally by itself reduces till age of 18.

Not advisable as her number will further decrease as the height increases.
The number stabilises by 18 yrs and any LASIK to be considered only after that..
Thanks
