Asked By:Drones200 in Hollywood, FL

For the past few years I've been noticing a drooping left eyelid when I'm tired. I want to know if you see it. I do feel like it is affecting my vision and at times I have to focus in keeping my left eyelid open. I started blinking just from that eye as well I have no issues wih my right eye even when tired. I did get into a fight a few years ago and was punched with a ring in my forehead right above that eye. Should I see a doctor and if so which? I also been told to have sad eyes
