Please get a atropine refraction done for her to get the correct power and then as per her refraction she may need glasses.
If glasses are prescribed it is best to use them and have a periodic eye checkup to see whether there is any change in the glass power
For the future it is difficult to predict if her power will increase or decrease with age, all of which are possible. So do not stress it out on that at the moment because that can't be changed. It's always wise to "cross the bridge, when it comes".
