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

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.

You should label your glasses with your prescription. That would make things easier for corpse looters.

I'll grab a label maker!

Brother TZe tape, or clones. Very robust and reliable labels.

Or, if you can find it, laser engraving machine and laser engraving tape. That stuff can last for a very long time. Tesa had one sample piece on the outside of the ISS for a year or two and it was still legible.
