A member asked:

What to do if i have ommetaphobia (fear of eyes) but i need to be able to do a test about eyes help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Counseling: Phobias can be very successfully treated with a variety of modalities. Mental imagery, self-hypnosis, controlled breathing, etc. If the symptoms become severe, then anti-anxiety medication could be considered.
