Why is one of my eyes opened too much while the other one sags

When I was a baby, my parents noticed that one of my eyelids drooped more than the other. They had it checked out and the doctor at the time said it was fine. When I was in grade school I didn't really notice the drooping, but over time has gotten so severe. One of my eye is super open, while the one that drooped has dropped even further. Anyway yo fix it? I think I was also diagnosed with a slight lazy eye, but we never did anything about it.

The medical name for a droopy eyelid is "ptosis".  You would need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologists for an evaluation and discussion of options.  Also these conditions are often passed on to next generation.
