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).

If there’s that type of event, we (the survivors, that is. 95% of us will die) are going back, way back. When the elevator falls from the 21st century down to the 20th and 19th, the cable snaps and we’re going back to the ground.
See, even a hundred years ago, items like a light bulb or electric motor already depended on a very large supply chain and many people working together that never meet in real life.
How do you make glass? Do you even know what glass is, how many types there are, how to make it different thicknesses or shapes? And even if you can, can you make more for everyone else?
What are you doing in the meantime that you don’t have glass? How are you feeding yourself? With what?
Even if you think glass is “simple”, how would you get the materials and tools? The people who used to do that, where are they? What knowledge have they lost? Where is that material today?
In other words, you’re back to your bare hands and wits and whatever is in walking distance from you, right now.
Think you’ll survive long enough to worry about glasses?
