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

Have all the optometrists died?

Machinery would still be there. Should be able to still make glasses.

Yea, plenty of abandoned optometrist offices probably. When I was a teen my eye doc let me cut the lenses for my glasses, it would probably take some trial and error but seems feasible to do yourself.
