Droopy eyelids can sometimes be improved for a few hours with special eyedrops. Also special "ptosis crutch" spectacles are available to prop up the eyelids.
Apart from "ptosis crutch" spectacles, if the condition is caused by fat in the eyelid, or is associated with say myotonic dystrophy, or is otherwise not relieved by the eyedrops, surgery will be required.
