I should preface this post by sharing that my mind wanders quite a lot, and I occasionally remember what track it went down. The other day, a friend of mine posted some random zombie protection article. For some reason, zombie apocalypses stuck in my brain, and I spent a good deal of the day musing about them. I came to a grand (if slightly depressing) realization: the people who are must vulnerable during a zombie apocalypse are the vision impaired.
So I (and my whole family) wear contacts and /or glasses. I would only last as long as my contact supply or as long as my glasses were in good shape. A day or so later, Mac was playing The Walking Dead video game. I mentioned my whole “I’m essentially doomed” theory because several of the game characters had glasses. He agreed that we the visually impaired are at a bit of a disadvantage if the zombie apocalypse ever does occur. I’m now accepting donations for Lasik surgery.

Haha this is the reason I got LASIK.
Amanda says
haha I’ve never thought about that. But I’m blonde so I feel like I’m automatically killed off. Or I’m running around half naked with perfect hair and make up. Because Zombie shows are so realistic.

I’ve thought about this before since I wear contacts. I’ve also figured I’d be a sneezy mess without my allergy meds. Let’s just hope we’d all avoid a zombie apocalypse 🙂

If you can at all do it, DO IT. Best thing I’ve ever done!

Tom and I had this exact same conversation, and his solution was to raid a optometry of all their contacts. When I told him that they are prescription specific and that doesn’t necessarily help me, he said that it was at least better than nothing right. Wrong. This is one reason why I have all my glasses from forever, just in case something were to happen I have several back-ups.
