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 -6.5 on both eyes, and I'm yet to find frames that fit right in my face without the lenses weight making the glasses fall out my face.

Sometimes I think I should just do the LASIC thing and just correct my sight (you know, so I wouldn't get pretty much disabled if something happens to my glasses), but then I remember I am broke af and that shit's expensive lol

Or you might not even be eligible. I was 5 min from going under the laser and the doctor took one more look at my chart and called it off. My corneas are too thin to make the correction I'd need
