You are right in in pandemic situation we can't go out but as per your description most probably it is allergy
To start with don't let her rub her eyes if she feel itchy try out with cold compresses i.e take ice cube in a clean handkerchief and put on the eyes.Secondly you can try out with Eyedrop Betoact 2 times for 7-10 days
If still the problem persists let me know I'm there to help you out at any time

Most probably she is having ocular allergy.
You will have to consult an ophthalmologist. A video consultation can be fair enough to establish a diagnosis.

It could be an allergy. Please seek a video consult with an ophthalmologist at the earliest
Next Steps
Always please visit an ophthalmologist for spectacle power evaluation rather than an optician.
