Hi im 26 from liverpoool and was recently diagnosed with KC, its quite bad in my left eye and just in the early stages in my right eye. This might sound stupid but over the last few weeks ive been noticin like there is a draft in my left eye, feels like someone is blowin on it if that makes you understand better.
1 more thing which i hope someone can help is when im wearing my glasses, when i adjust them i get really bad twitching in my left eye only. Ive suffered with severe migraines all my life and also suffer really bad from hayfever
thanks for reading!!!

Thats some unusual affects you got going on there....does the surface of the eye feel cold when you feel like someone is blowing on it?

Hhmm never really heard of that before, but know that having KC can make your eyes really sensitive so maybe that is it? Also twitching etc can be down to tiredness, am not really sure! Just a few thoughts!
Nice to have you on the forum, take care, Sweet X x X

I wonder whether you feel your eye becoming dry? This would be a result of a draft on your eye, and you maybe experiencing the effect as if the draft were the cause.
Hayfever and Migraines have often been reported along with KC, although whether they are always or necessarily related is more doubtful.
Dry eyes are also a common feature of KC. Most people here have found ways to cope with it. Ask your optometrist or even your GP to reccomend some form of artificial tear.
Meantime, welcome to the forum. It is good to welcome you to the band of brothers (and sisters), we few ...

the tiredness part would make sense as i get on average about 4hrs a day which is no good, but working nights and having 2 young kids doesnt help lol

This could be a mixture of dry eye and tired eye!...I have got the cold sensation that you refer to bt used to get it during the evening only......but its worth mentioning to your consultant / eye unit
