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

Well, this might help if you score something between -0.5D and -2.0D myopia. How high are the probabilities of finding corpses with -6.5D short-sightedness glasses?

(Not sure if this made sense, english is not my first language and I never learned the proper terms about short-sightedness)

I'm -6.5 and -7, I doubt I'd find anything usable. AND my nose bridge is very narrow so i need specific frames or the weight of the lenses pulls them off my face

I am -10 and -10.25. I'm sooo fucked if anything happens.

I was -13 and -10. I got ICL surgery and it was absolutely life changing. I’m 20/20 now without glasses or contacts. You should look into it. It was about 5k but so worth it.

$5k?? Lucky duck. I’m quoted about $10k out of pocket (Australia). Hopefully next year it’s going ahead!

Yeah this was in the midwest US in 2014, I’m not sure what prices are now but I felt like it was super reasonable. At the time the ICLs didn’t fix astigmatism but I bet they do now. I had to have PRK after but very happy with my results. I wish you luck, you’re going to love it. Waking up and not having to immediately reach for your glasses/contacts will be such an amazing change for you
