      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Participants in the study will be randomly divided into two intervention groups receiving azithromycin 1% (group A) and the control group receiving erythromycin (group B) by simple blocking method. Patients with the above conditions in two groups are randomly entered into one of the two intervention or control groups by blocking method (quadruple blocks). Thus, various quadrilateral blocks were created (AABB, BBAA, ABAB, BABA, ABBA and BABA). One of these blocks will be randomly selected and patients will be divided into one of two groups A or B. Then randomization was performed for other patients, Blinding description: Outcome Assessor: The ward nurse, without knowing the type of medication received, questions the patients and records them in the relevant checklist.
Participants in the study without knowing the medication received for the treatment of blepharitis, which is the gold standard treatment or the new treatment for blepharitis.</study_design>
