Why would my Daughter s vision be going blurry all of a sudden?

In July my 9 year old daughter saw a optometrist and was given basically the same prescription for glasses she has had for a few years. I pointed out that her eye kept turning and he kind of brushed it off. Well she has Amblyopia (Lazy eye) and Eye turning is common with this but hers kind of came on suddenly over a month period she had never had it before and I have known about the lazy eye since she was 3.

For the first few years, I had trouble getting her to wear the glasses but at around age 7 she started wear them more frequently and now wears them all the time except for baths/swimming and bed.

I took her to an Ophthalmologist who gave her a stronger lens prescription and said to follow up in a couple months and if there's still the eye turning problem we may have to patch. We got her new glasses within a week of seeing the ophthalmologist.

it's been almost 2 months (Her Appointment is Dec 27th) and the last few days she says her eyes keep going blurry with and without her glasses and she can't see right. I have noticed that when she takes her glasses off, she is squinting more than she ever has before.

I mean I have a lazy eye and it wanders, but they caught mine at age 12/13 and really couldn t fix it my right eye is good so I don't even use glasses as they give me headaches, and make me dizzy. So I'm not to sure what may be going on with her vision.

I called and they will see her this Thursday morning, What could be causing this? Anyone with any experience?
