Hello
It seems from the history that your son is having crossed eyes intermittently whenever he is tired.
This is called as intermittent squint. This is because of failure of fusion of the eyes.
This can be because of weakness of the exraocular muscles.
This requires further evaluation by a ophthalmologist or preferably by a pediatric ophthalmologist and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
