What Causes Fear And Distant Vision In A Child?

my son says things look far away he wakes up terrified. he s gotten glasses in the last 8 months. last night was the first time its happened in prob. a year and a half. when it happened he jumped up and tried running outside to make it stop. nothing helped until I put a game on my phone and he held it about 6 inches from his face and concentrated on it. He was ok as long as he didnt look away from it. He did that for 5 min or so then it eased up. This happened 3 times before he was able to put the phone down and watch tv with the light on till he fell asleep. It happened again in the morn. What can I do. Is there some kind of doctor I can take him to that would know about this?
