Why is my left eye dropping so noticeably low? (photo)

mc827
I've noticed over the past 2 months that my left eye is smaller than my right eye and is drooping significantly. The difference really shows up in pictures. I don't have any pain with the eye, but it does feel heavy and strained. There is slight swelling above the left eye lid. I did not have an injury that would have caused this so I cannot figure out what is going on. Any ideas on why my eye is drooping so low and is there an option to fix it??
