Common fainting: Aka vasovagal syncope is the most common cause. It can be a response to a stressor (such as the sight of blood.) it can also happen with pain, coughing, pooping, and other things. It can indicate something serious, although this is extremely uncommon. You should take her to her pediatrician so she can evaluate your child's hydration status, heart, blood pressure, and get more info.

Fainting: Fainting for three minutes is a long time to be out. I would recommend taking her to see her doctor. There are some things that the doctor may want to rule out. I'm not sure what you mean by lazy eyes. Rolling back before the fainting?
