Both the above contributors are right, so I'll just add a point on language.
A lot of people (not professionals) use the terms "squint" and "squinting" to mean holding the eyes almost shut, either against the sun or in an attempt to see better.
When a mother reports that her son "has been squinting" it could be she has noticed a turn, a strabismus, *or* that he's been squeezing his eyelids together.
(Google for "squinting" and the second top web-site uses the word in this sense. "Squinting at blurred, fuzzy or tiny characters for hours can contribute to CVS. " Confusing, if you're not alert to the two meanings!)

Squint is the lay term for strabismus. It means that the two eyes do not point at the same object, one is either pointing inward or outward compared to the other.
