Http://myelitis.org/symptoms-conditions/neuromyelitis-optica/: This is a rare condition, and I do not mean to alarm you. Your pediatric ophthalmologist will be best suited to help you. The article above can help you, but it may not exactly describe your case scenario. Wish you well. There are many resources, but finding an expert in this with experience is always advised. You may have that in the doctor who diagnosed this.

Devic's Syndrome: Neuromyelitis optica (aka Devic's syndrome) is very rare and often difficult to diagnose. If you have the antibodies to aquaporin-4 then you almost certainly have the diagnosis. I would identify a neuro-ophthalmologist in your area with experience in diagnosing and treating the condition as you and your daughter move forward. Take care, and stay healthy!
