My eyes a pretty damn good at the moment but it's highly likely that they will deteriorate over time and one of the skills I don't have is that of being able to make lenses.
I usualy buy the ready to wear ones from pharmacies and garages, I have them in varying degrees of strength, I hope I never have to use them but it's very likely that I will if I live into my old age after an event.
Imagine your eyes going even a little blurry, the implications are massive, and not in a good way.
You brought up a good subject here and it one that many overlook. I have made plans for this but in a slightly different way. I keep all of my reading glasses, I have several scattered around the home and a spare set at work and one pair in my work bag. When my eyes change prescription, I then slowly change the glasses over.
I have also factored-in that when I retire as long as TEOTWAWKI has'nt happened I will be having my eyes corrected by laser surgery. Hopefully this will then extend the useage of my eyes till death do us part.
I also intend to do the same with my teeth in having artificial ones permanently implanted.
