My optometrist did say that until recently, people with Keratoconus only had the option of hard lenses. He also said that those who have severe Keratoconus still only have that option, but in my case he could get specialised soft lenses to suit me, as mine wasn't as severe and my main problem was astigmatism. Honestly too if he'd mentioned hard lenses I probably wouldn't have returned (told you I'm a wuss) My DH wants me to see a specialist, but I am resisting.
The optometrist also said it was genetic, passed from mother to son, so I got my older sons checked out too. Luckily DS2 is clear, but DS1 has mild astigmatism but no keratoconus. Charlie will get tested when he's a little older.
As for these contacts, I still don't know what to do (or rather what I want to do). I'm going to wear them today (sigh) amd see how I go.
