Scotomaphobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of blindness in the visual field. This phobia is actually the fear of Scotoma
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
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
