How do I tell my film lecturer that I have epilepsy?

I've recently been diagnosed with epilepsy after having a series of complex partial seizures (I blank out for about 10 seconds up to 30 times a day)

I am a film student so that means I do have to handle equipment such as lighting, boom microphones and cameras.

I have no idea how I am supposed to bring this up with my lecturer. He is a really nice guy but I still don't know how to tell him.
