How to fix hooded eyes to correct vision?

MetroBoise
I have had hooded eyes my whole life. Now that I am older (44), they have gotten much worse even though I have been religiously applying skin tightening creams. I wear glasses and my eyelids are so bad that they rub the lenses when I laugh or smile and they leave oil smudges several times a day. That can be really dangerous, especially when driving. Insurance - can this be corrected under "medical necessity" and not "elective cosmetic"? If so, what do I need to do?
