newbie!

Hi!
I'm new to here so apologies if I'm in the wrong place or you've heard this a thousand times before!!
I'm just after a little advice if anyone can help?!
I took my 18yr old son for an eye exam last week. He had been complaining that his vision was blurry in 1 eye. He had gotten scratched in this eye a few months ago by a cat so though it was problems from that. Anyway, he was in having his test for quite a while. When he came out the optician came out with "I wish you had told me about his eye condition before we started".....Erm what eye condition??!!!!!
She said he has Keratoconus in both eyes although one was worse than the other. She explained it as like a rugby ball shaped eye instead of a round one, told him he needs glasses but would eventually need contact lenses.
That's all I know!
So my main question now is what happens now?! Does he just get his glasses & go for regular eye exams, does the optician inform the gp or does he need to go see the gp &/or a specialist etc?
He has other health problems too so is regularly at the hospital & we are in south Yorkshire.
Many thanks xx
