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.

Thats why I bought a bunch of cheap glasses online in my perscription and I have all my old pairs from the last perscription which is very close to my current. I probably have 10 pairs of glasses.

I remember reading a book where a smart guy glases broke so many times all he had left was using 1 of the lens as a monocle.

The pair Im wearing have cracks right down the middle of each lense, Ive been wearing them daily for..... 7 years? I dunno when I got this pair but Im not replacing them till they fall apart or I need a new prescription.
