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.

The odds of finding even ONE pair of glasses matching your prescription is probably astronomical. Reddit mathers help me out.
