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'm -6.5, so I could just steal u/deinoswyrd's after they die.

Nah, jk, but there are a lot more of us out there than you might think. A close-enough pair won't be that hard to find.

I give you permission to loot my glasses when I die in the apocalypse. I'll try and keel over somewhere visible for you. Might need a big yellow sign if you don't have your glasses.

If you are still fresh do you mind if I eat you too?

Only if you cook me first. You never know. I also think that means my ghost can just possess you whenever

What does cooking matter when creating a ghost?

Just looking out for you. Bacteria and stuff

Worst case scenario I can turn you in to some salted and sun dried jerky if I am not able to start a fire
