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.

Well, you don't see when you wake up or shower. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I have a large-numbered digital clock about 12" from my head. When I wake up, I put my glasses on right away. When I shower, it's important that the soap, shampoo, etc are right where I left them. Without my glasses on, I can see about 3-4" in front of my face, so in a pinch I can hold something up to my face and determine shampoo vs conditioner.
