What Causes Involuntary Constant Opening Of Eyes Widely In A Child?

My 4 year old has been involuntarily (it seems) been opening his eyes wide briefly, sometimes looking out the left side. If he s happy, smiling and the eye thing happens, he simultaneously becomes straight-faced. It only happens for a moment, but yet is frequent. Why is he doing it?
