I'm have very bad anxiety and i have a fear of going blind. is it very rare to go blind or even just go blind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Have no worry. It is extremely rare and highly unlikely you will spontaneously go blind. If you are having ongoing anxiety, see your physician about getting a referral to a specialist, therapist, or counselor that can help you.
