Brief Answer:
You may have muscle weakness
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
I think, you may have muscle weakness rather than squint. Squint happens due to poor coordination of eye muscle, but it is not temporary. If there is some squint in eye, that would stay for whole day. Not for a particular time. May be you have muscle fatigue. In that case, sometime patient gets such kind of symptoms.
During internal eye check up, ophthalmologists usually use magnifying lens. This is their usual procedure to check the posterior chamber of eye. There is nothing wrong in it. You can do some exercise for eye muscle. That would help you to overcome this problem. In this case, you can take opinion of your eye specialist.
If you have more query, you can ask.

Brief Answer:
Its difficult to explain
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Usually eye check is done by eye specialist, but some psychiatrists do it. It could be the part of routine check up to find out any underline brain abnormality or to rule out any eye disorder. Few patients with depression get hypothyroidism. May be with that he would have tried to find out any internal sign of hypothyroidism.
Now after 18 years, it is difficult to tell the exact reason.
