Self treating will more than likely not get you very far. Most training involves special equipment and lenses that are crucial for improvement of her tracking, eye teaming, focusing, and perceptual skills. Your niece will have the best success under the care of a behavioral optometrist who specializes in vision training and development who can give her exercise to work on to help improve her acuity development as well as her eye teaming, sensorimotor and visual perceptual skills.
Try www.covd.org. It will have more information about vision therapy/training as well as a directory to find an optometrist who specializes in children’s eye development in your area.

If your niece was born with cataract and the surgery was not done by age 3 months, she may never develop normal vision. Pleoptics exercises may not work for your niece as they are for treatment of amblyopia due to binocular vision problems, not for post cataract.
In any event, you can’t do them at home, you need special equipment that is available in offices of eye doctors who specialize in amblyopia treatment.
