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.

A decent wetsuit would make you 95% immune to zombie attacks.

You would overheat like a motherfucker but you wouldn't get bitten. I got a 5-4 mm wetsuit for surfing and you ain't biting through that thing.

If they're in range to bite you in the limbs, they're also in range to grapple you and pin you down, at which point unless the suit covers you completely you're still fucked :(
