According to the NHS, blepharitis can be caused by bacteria living on the skin or a skin condition like dermatitis.
Symptoms include sore eyelids, as well as itchy eyes and a 'gritty' feeling in the eyes.
It can be treated by cleaning the eyelids daily, as well as with prescribed antibiotic creams or drops.
While blepharitis isn't usually considered serious, the condition can lead to conjunctivitis, dry eyes and cysts if not treated properly.
During a flare up, Bradley revealed he can suffer from swollen eyes, with his eyes usually becoming itchy and red.
