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

March 25, 2014
Asked By: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.
