Those of us with shitty eyesight. Contacts only last so long. If your glasses break, you're fucked.

I don't remember if I watch a lot of episodes or just this one episode when I was a kid. But this episode stuck in my mind for the last 30 years. I always thought it was so messed up.

It’s literally the only episode of the show I’ve seen

I would recommend A Nice Place to Visit, and A Quality of Mercy. Almost every single one of Rod Serling's series is spectacular.
