I feel like I have a deep reliance on society and technology, because I can’t fucking see without glasses and I’m too scared to do Lasik lol (also expensive).

    I once lost my glasses and used an ordinary drinking glass as a monocle as substitute. It wasn’t perfect, but good enough for me to find my glasses. (This was before cell phones had cameras).

    Having been very near sighted for most of my life, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really that big of a handicap. It’s mostly an issue for reading things, and even that can be done when putting it close enough.

    I can’t really think of anything in a hypothetical apocalypse where 20/20 vision would be absolutely necessary.

      Good vision could help with food gathering (hunting/foraging) but if youre in a farming community I imagine you’ll be fine.
