Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
The symptoms mentioned by you indicate that your daughter is having colored halos. The common causes that need to be ruled out are prodromal symptoms of migraine.
If the colored halos are followed by headache this confirms the diagnosis of colored halos.
The other causes that needs to be ruled out are narrow angles of the eye.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your questions.
Thank you
