Drooping of the upper eyelid also known as (ptosis) can happen for many reason such as age, weakness of the levator muscle etc. Ptosis repair surgery can be done to fix the problem.

I had a surgery done to correct my left eyelid. But surprisingly, the left eyelid became the "larger" eye. Till now right eye with the eyelid is giving me a lot of problem. Lazy eyes, droppy eyelid, misaligned eye... Blah blah blah... N im already 18.... Life is long long long , way too long
