Hi. I've known 2 women, not MSers, who have had eye surgery for this problem, because it was really interfering with their vision. Under those circumstances it was not considered cosmetic, so the insurance paid for everything.

Hi, there.  Actually, lid drooping that interferes with your line of sight is dangerous for the vision.  You could actually begin to lose sight in an eye that has too much droop.  This is because the brain will start to ignore the sight/images from an eye whose vision is obstructed by the droopy lid.

You must see an Ophthalmologist to evaluate this.  If the pupil is partially covered in direct ahead site, yes, they may need to do something.

I give this answer from my experience in pedicatrics.  It may be wrong applied to adults, but I would take a chance.  See an ophtho, please.
