Hello
It seems from the history that you are having blepharitis for which you have been prescribed with erythromycin eye ointment.
The treatment of the condition is by lid hygiene by cleaning the eye lid margins daily using cotton bud and applying erythromycin eye ointment to the lid margin.

Thank you
