Residual eyelid ptosis
You should obtain a thorough oculoplastic exam by an oculoplastic surgeon. You have significant eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelid).

If you decide to explore this further, I would recommend consultation with an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastics surgeon. You can find one close to you on the ASOPRS dot org website.
