It is difficult to tell from the photos. Many different issues can give appearance of the eyelid problem you have. See an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation and treatment.

Swelling of the eyelids

It is not normal to have swelling of the eyelids.  You should go see an eye 
doctor, or at least a family doctor to get evaluated, especially if you have any 
symptoms.  If you have had this appearance for a very long time and have no 
symptoms, you might have a ptosis (droop) of your eyelids.  In either case, you 
should see a medical professional.

Chase Lay, MD · Answer

you should go see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.  Especially if this is a recent development you need to be evaluated.  Unfortunately we will not be able to give you affective information using this on line format
