Children may not be used to paying attention to a teacher on the online platform. So they tend to stare and strain their eyes.
Next Steps
take frequent breaks, if possible connect the laptop to the TV screen so the screen is bigger and further away from the child. automatically the strain will reduce. ensure the child is blinking adequately and not staring

Donot wash the eyes too much, it will deplete the natural tears. Adequate rest in between , decreased screen brightness , avoid online classes on phones and off screen activities in break would help. Genteal maybe put to provide some immediate relief

Hi ...
It is a challanging situation for a 6 year old to attend online class for that long without loosing attention.
You could use genteal drops
All children should have a check for power before 5 years...if u have not done..do it .
Let her have 2 min break in between , it is alright.
