What Causes A Droopy Eyelid?

My 17 year old son has one eyelid that is droopy, white part of eye is red, the whole eye looks smaller than the other. He says since he busted open a battery when he was 10 , and the acid got in his eye both eyes were different. It is more noticeable now and made worse after football or wrestling practice. What could it be?
