-----Answer-----
His eyes pop? Somethings that can mean that you are holding him too tight or it can be a stress response. It's a normal response for them to do that to let you know he's not comfortable.
Answer it sounds like he's really curious and a little worried about what's going on. It's really a normal response and I wouldn't worry too much. My hamster did it for a while. To help with stress you can put food in your hand. Food is always a good distraction.
