Is there a way to control or exercise my drooping eyelid?

No: Eyelids can droop for many reasons: excessive skin, stretching of the connective tissues that connect the muscles to the structures of the eyelid, abnormalities of the nerves controlling those muscles, or a problem with the way the connective tissues are formed that you are born with. Unfortunately, excercise won't help. An eye doctor can identify the cause and appropriate treatment is.

Unlikely: It depends on the cause. Most cases of drooping eyelids are either due to a nerve/muscle problem or due to excess skin. A drooping eyelid can also be a sign of a more serious problem. You should see an eye doctor to get this evaluated and treated.

Droopy eyelid: There are several causes of a droopy eyelid. Your best bet would be to have your eyes evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Exercise will not fix the problem.
