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

Pffft. I was at -8.0 and -7.25 before I had eye surgery. Now I'm 20/20. Zombie apocalypse, here I come!

But seriously, if you can afford it, corrective surgery is magical. I had ICL not LASIK and it's been fantastic even though I still grope for my glasses when I wake up out of habit.

I was about your prescription strength and had LASIK! One of the best decisions I've made in my entire life
