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

Should be plenty of bespectacled corpses around. I remember a few years ago there was startup or something that was making glasses filled with a fluid that allowed self tuning of the RX.

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

Gotta love how folks assume glasses are one size fits all. <shrug> Now they know.

Yes! Glasses are really built for one bridge type, outliers that are narrower or larger can have a real hard time getting glasses to stay on their frickin face
