This is really not an uncommon prescription at all. She definitely needs to wear her glasses, but her lens will not be thick and her eyes will certainly not look big behind the lenses. I was an optician for 5 years and I only began to be concerned about the cosmetics of lenses when they were a minus 3 or higher, but even then there are certain lens materials that can make the lenses thinner and more visually appealing. However, your daughter is far from those that. Don't worry! She'll look great. Just help her find a stylish frame that she loves and she'll be fine.

I don't know about the eyesight, my prescription was -2.50 when I was 11 and my eyesight was not that bad.
Oh, and about her eyes, NOT huge since her prescription is - not + so the glasses will make her eyes look a bit smaller, but only a bit (definitely NOT bigger). My prescription now is -3.75, I'm 17 and my eyes don't look small at all, almost no difference with when I'm wearing my contacts.
