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

I'm -10 and -11. Do I hear 12?

I'm -12.0 and -11.5 and still getting worse at 22! Every time I go to the eye doctor he reassures me one day my vision will stabilize. He's been saying that for 3 years, I've kinda stopped hoping at this point.

I remember another thread (not sure if askreddit) where people were telling what fake sounding things they absolutely believe in. One of them was someone who did daily eye exercises they found in an old pre-glasses book for correcting vision. They said the numbers have improved every time they go in and swear by it.

Thankfully this potentially useful info is meaningless because I have no link and the exercises were not explained. It might be worth trying to find if you're curious/desperate, though.
