Are myopia glasses safe for a child?

My daughter has myopia. Are myopia glasses safe for a child?

yes
There is no doubt that glasses are safe for any one at any age. Polycarbonate lenses are safety lenses which should reduce or eliminate any problems if a lens is cracked or damaged. And if your daughter is nearsighted which is myopia, she would be much better off seeing her distance world more clearly. How blurry it is depends upon the amount of myopia which is present now and
which may change as she ages. Good luck and best wishes.
Yes
Usually plastic lenses are safely prescribed.
