Eyelid problem
Although things may improve with time, you should obtain an oculoplastic exam. Possible problems include weak orbicularis muscle, tethering/scarring preventing proper eyelid opening and closure, among others. There are nonsurgical and surgical options available, depending on the problem. In the meantime, keep your eyes lubricated.
