Long sighted child - raised optic nerve

Hi all, I was hoping for some advice and someone to talk to, my little girl is 5 and has been wearing glasses since she was 2, due to having long sight, worse in 1 eye.

so every check up has been fine until the last one where they have said they want to monitor one eye due to having a raised optic nerve after taking a picture of both eyes.

She is perfectly fine and the symptoms they told us to look out for she has none, severe headaches, vomiting, lethargic, really unwell, just normal and happy.

so they have said they don’t know if it’s just normal or something else, not saying what it could be if it is.

We have to go back in a few months for another check up before we can be discharged to make sure nothing has changed.

so now I’m panicking it could be something sinister, or are they just being cautious?

Anyone else had similar experience? She is 6 years old.

thanks
