eye cylindrical power

My daughter 11 years old, has been detected with -3.0 number in both eyes by a Dr. (D. Optho).
I went for computerised testing for second opinion.There we got her no. as -2.5 and -3.0.(the person who checked her no. might not be a Dr. He was located in a spectacles shop.)
Who should I treat as right?
I have ordered two specs with both the combinations. but which one should I ask her to use?

I worked in optics  for 12 yrs. Don't trust computerized machines. T hey have their place in eye care. But good old fashion scoping-giving a traditional exam is still best.

IT is a total waste of money to order both of those glasses. Consider cancelling the ones ordered in the glasses shop with the computerized instrument and use the RX from the ophthalmologist.

I'd consider the prescription from the computerized exam in the spectacles shop to be only an estimate of what would work best.  Try to get a refund on those glasses, or maybe the shop would let you apply your payment toward (sun?) glasses for another family member.  Have your daughter wear the glasses with the script from her eye doctor.
