Are there any correlations between people who wear contacts and have keratoconus? I'm asking, because handling contacts effectively requires you to rub the eyes

Are there any correlations between people who wear contacts and have keratoconus? I'm asking, because handling contacts effectively requires you to rub the eyes a little every time you take the contacts out. Or is that kind of deformation not enough?
- gdebel 6y ago(empirical, non scientific opinion): usually, wearing contact lenses tends to prevent vigorous eye rubbing, during the day. Also, people with sensitive, itchy eyes tend to avoid contact lenses: this is a two-way relationship. Nefarious eye rubbing is usually related to a daily, compulsory "habit", involving a vigorous pressure on the eye using the knuckles or the side of the index, also frequently present while sleeping.
