"I never heard in a disaster novel of people having problem to find glasses,"

Justin Cronin, The Passage.

It's a hundred years after the world ended, one minor character is terribly near-sighted. And he's gone through all of the glasses 'from the old days' his small community has in the storeroom and none of them help.

It stuck with me because, hey, he's about as near-sighted as I am.
