Myasthenia Gravis
The condition you are describing is likely Myasthenia Gravis, a neuromuscular condition that should be treated medically, and not surgically. You need to be seen by a Neuro-ophthalmologist.

Ptosis
You need to see an opthalmologist and a neurologist.
you may have weakness of the muscles that keep the eye lids open
or you may have a neurologic or autoimmune situation that may need to be addressed. The most important bit of information is to WHY there is a ptosis. once that is known then the proper treatment regimen may be given. It may be surgical or medical or both but without knowing the reason behind the ptosis its impossible to say how this should be treated
