Blepharitis: Ranges in severity and it's possible you had it previously but it was too mild for you to have symptoms. Good eyelid hygiene with warm compreses and lid scrubs will help. There are medications that help too if your case is not improving.

Gland problem: Blepharitis is caused by poorly functioning oil glands on your eyelids. No one knows what causes it. It is incurable but can be treated and controlled. Be sure to see an ophthalmologist to help guide you in the care of this disorder.
