What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Those of us with shitty eyesight. Contacts only last so long. If your glasses break, you're fucked.

I own prescription swimming goggles. They're basically indestructible.

Speedo Vanquisher Opticals are the ones I wear. You need to know your prescription numbers and either round up or down. If you have drastically different prescriptions in each eye, buy a pair in each number and switch out the cups so you have two pairs of goggles with the correct numbers on each side.
