Hello everyone

I was diagnosed with KC in my right eye approx 8 months ago. I was wondering if anyone else suffers from headaches/migranes related to this condition? I suffer from a migrane approx every 3/4 weeks.
Many thanks
Gemma

Welcome to the forum. You ask an interesting question.

In my teens and twenties I suffered from frequent migraines. In my sixties they don't come so much but I have always wondered whether trying to see clearly through wonky eyes may have contributed to my headaches.

am sure ?I just replied to this, well here goes again, appolgies if it is a duplicate

prior to KC diagnoses i got a lot ofregular migranes then a year or so back got told I have retinal migranes where all my vision goes for upto over a hour but is usually a few minutes, the medication zomig works wonders x

Thank you for your replies. I have suffered migranes since the birth of my twins nearly two years ago which led me to the opticians...which led to the diagnosis of KC. At the moment i am wearing glasses and in the early stage of getting used to one hard contact lens and one regular. I had hoped that the new glasses/lens would help to prevent the migranes but i am still suffering so will mention to my GP and at my next appt at eye clinic. Many thanks again, Gemma
