Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I love your group picture! This is an upsetting story. The last picture shows your dog not even opening the left eye. To be honest I recommend a second opinion regarding their eyes. Since it has been going on since birth it could be a congenital issue like entropion (curling in of the eye lashes) or eye lashes that are growing abnormally contacting the eye. I highly recommend having them checked by another vet for a second opinion especially for the dog closing the left eye. That indicates pain. I wish you the best
