Why is my eyelid drooping suddenly? And what are my options? (Photo)

eaj85
Over the past year it seems the visible part of my left eyelid has increased while my right eyelid has begun to sag a great deal. If you look at a baby picture of me, the right eyelid is a bit slimmer than the right, and that's how my eyelids remained up until a year or so ago. The only thing I can think of is that I now have a job that has me in front of a computer screen all day. Advice? Looking for lifestyle and or surgical solutions.
