No. There are no exercises that will improve muscle tone. "Eyelid lift" is a layman's term that doesn't really tell you the exact problem that needs to be addressed.

Improve and Lift Upper Eyelids with Surgery

No Exercise to improve upper eyelid tone.
Unfortunately there are no exercises that can do anything to improve eyelid muscle tone. If you have droopy eyelids, you need to be examined and possibly need surgery. Check asoprs.org for qualified surgeons close to you.

Great question!
Unfortunately, exercising the upper eyelid muscle will not strengthen the muscle in a meaningful way. For this reason droopy eyelids need to have surgery to correct the situation. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a geographic directory on its website that will help you find a well qualified surgeon in your area.
