Esophoria & Air Force

My daughter (age 22 now) had surgery for esophoria when she was 4.  No problems since.    4 years ago she started wearing glasses during college work (for seeing distance).  Had to have an exam for Air Force enlistment from doctor who performed surgery 18 years ago.  His report/letter stated he noted a 'small esophoria'.  No follow up or correction required. She is not enlisting as a pilot.  Do you know if this will keep her out of the Air Force?
