Squinting of the eyes is normally associated with eye or facial pain, a common cause of which is inturned or stray eye lashes which contact and scratch the surface of they eye. Given this is a painful condition I would recommend you get him checked as soon as possible. Flushing the eyes with sterile saline eye wash 3-4times a day can provide some temporary relief until you can get him checked out
