I can't control the movement in my left eyelid. Can it be fixed?

vatsaldesai21
Right from my birth, I'm unable to operate my left eyelid. However, my left eye does get opened on its own but not fully. I feel like my left eyelid is paralyzed and I can't control its motion and it clearly looks smaller than right eye. Is it ptosis? Is it treatable? Right from my childhood days i feel like I was born with a curse! I can't explain my happiness if it gets solved.
