Spencer has this great eye condition called Keraticonus, which I won't even try to describe beyond it makes his eyesight terrible! Bad enough that he reached the point his glasses or hard contacts alone aren't doing the job anymore.
So, he went to meet with a specialist in Ogden to see about getting some fancy contact lenses called hybrids, which are hard in the middle and soft on the outside. From what we understood this was one of his last options except a cornea transplant (yuck)! To our dismay the specialist had stopped recommending hybrid lenses because too many people were having problems with them. But, he still recommends the "old school" solution they call "piggy back". The idea behind it is the same as hybrids, only you wear two contacts in each eye, wild!
Soooo, that's what Spencer is doing now (wearing a hard contact on top of his soft one) and it is working great!!! Yea! He can see again and this was a way cheaper option than either a surgery or the hybrids, who knew.
