Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
with your brief history the squinting at this age will be more commonly because of refractive error especially with PLUS + power. Your son needs a good refraction with "cycloplegia". Most of the times glasses will correct squinting. If doesn't improves then you need to consult Ophthalmologist with specialty in Pediatric and stramismus.
