Is there an operation to correct a lazy eyelid?

Yes: A droopy eyelid is referred to as "ptosis" and there are various surgical methods of correction depending on the underlying cause and the severity of the ptosis. I suggest consulting with a local plastic surgeon for an in-depth discussion regarding the surgical options, risks, and benefits.

Yes: There are two types of "lazy eyelid"; congenital and acquired. Although they are corrected with different methods, both are correctable. You should consult an oculo-plastic surgeon for proper evaluation and to discuss surgical options.
