A couple of thoughts -
1. Bunt, bunt, bunt. When I have a kid who seems to be having trouble tracking, I will have them bunt a ton of balls. This really forces them to track the pitch to the contact point.
2. Follow the ball. Another thing is I will have a kid just take pitches and follow it all the way to the back stop. Pete Rose used to do this on takes. I might add having the kid give me the pitch location where it crossed the plate.
Also, I know you said your DD had an eye exam a few months back, but kids eyes are apt to change very quickly. I know our eye doc will do a quick exam at a discounted price just to make sure there aren't any significant changes. Might be worth asking about.
