Droopy eyelid - is eyelid surgery the only way to fix it? (photos)

sorrayah
Hi, I am 37 year old female from Europe. I was born with a "damaged nerve" in my eyelid (what I have been always told) and had a lazy eye as a child. The lazy eye issue resolved itself in my childhood but the droopy eyelid remined. It used to be the worse after crying and when tired but now it is bad and very noticeable all the time. Is there a name for this condition? What are my options in terms of treatment? Is eyelid surgery the only way to fix it? Thank you.
