Exercise won't help: If the ptosis is bothering you, it can repaired. See an ophthalmologist for an opinion.

Nothing: No exercises will help. Make sure you find out the etiology of the droopy eyelid. There are some serious conditions that can cause ptosis including an aneurysm or carotid dissection. Don't assume is just inherited untill it's worked up
