What Does Widened Eyes With Vision Moving Away From Focal Point In A Child Suggest?

My son is 7 yo, and he widens his eyes moving them from the focus point (ex. phone screen) and looks away for 1-2 seconds, then he returns to the focus object. He does it smoothly, but it looks like he is distressed. The frequency gas increased dramatically in the last 4 days. However, I cannot pinpoint under what circumstances he does it since he shows same symptoms during mealtime. Please, let me know what you think! Thank you, Andy
