Ear and vision medical Q&A tips from Dr Goldway
A reader asks about a pulsatile ear or head sound and eye infection linked to bifocals. The doctor cautions circulatory causes such as partially blocked arteries near the ear or brain, or middle ear fluid after a cold. If unresolved, see an ENT. For the glasses question, describes bifocal lines and adjustment, advises checking with an eye doctor, notes newer lens options, and says infection not caused by glasses but can worsen if vision fatigue occurs.
