or having spots before the eyes. Scotomaphobia can be caused by injuries such
as getting poked in the eye or having difficult experiences with eye drops or
contacts.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
