It sounds like your daughter has third nerve palsy.
Third nerve palsy causes loss of movement of the eye up, down, and in as well as a drooping upper eyelid. In a complete palsy, the pupil is enlarged, and the ability of the eye to focus close-up is impaired.
In complete third nerve palsy the eye is usually deviated outward and sometimes downward and the pupil may be enlarged and does not react normally to light.
Usually the patient complains of double vision unless the drooping eyelid covers the pupil.
Children with third nerve palsy in one eye develop amblyopia which is decreased vision caused by a failure of the brain to use the input from one eye. Amblyopia can be treated by patching the normal eye.
Unfortunately, there is no method to correct the weakness.
Surgery can be done to raise the eyelid and on the eye muscles to realign the eyes so that the eyes appear straight when your daughter looks straight ahead. If the third nerve palsy is complete, poor movement of the eye up, down and in will remain.
Visually stimulating activities can be helpful while a patch is worn.
