Default I just found out today that my 6 year old daughter is very farsighted?

But because I've never had glasses before I didn't really know what the optometrist was talking about when he said one of her eyes is 9 and the other is 6. Also, I don't mind her having to wear glasses seeing that glasses aren't ugly like they used to be and we found a really cute pink pair that she really likes. But the doctor said there will be some magnification. Does this mean that her eyes are going to look huge like coke bottle glasses?
Is there a possibility she will outgrow it?

Yes, those numbers have to do with the curve of the lens.
Individuals with farsightedness or hyperopia are unable to see near and distant objects clearly. This is the result of light focusing behind the retina, rather than directly on it. Individuals suffering from farsightedness typically have an eye that is too short or a cornea that is too flat. Farsighted people usually have trouble seeing up close, but may also have difficulty seeing far away as well. The treatment for hyperopia depends on several factors such as the patient’s age, activities, and occupation. Young patients may or may not require glasses or contact lenses, depending on their ability to compensate for their farsightedness with accommodation. Glasses or contact lenses are required for older patients.
The good news is that she could have LASIK surgery to correct it when she gets older.
LASIK, which stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is a procedure that permanently reshapes the cornea for clearer vision.

Those numbers are pretty big. The eye with a 9 may look magnified. When she gets older she can wear contacts.

Listen, my daughter is 6, too, and wears glasses, and yes, there is some magnification. But a lot of kids wears glasses now, and it causes her no problems. This in NOT a big deal. She will be just fine.
