Possibly: Chronic squinting can cause muscular contraction around your eyes which stimulate wrinkles. As you age, some of these wrinkles may persist even when you are not squinting. I would recommend considering correcting your vision to prevent squinting, Botox to prevent the muscles from contracting, and laser skin treatments to tighten the skin/minimize any current wrinkles.
