How Can I Overcome My Phobia of Eyes?

Hi well basically I have quite a bad phobia of eyes and struggle to look at them and know things about them. I just really can’t stand the idea of them and I often have quite bad panic attacks normally lasting about 10 minutes.
Anyway, I’ve been deciding on what A Levels I want to do and I’m really keen to do biology but I’ve found out one of the things we have to do is eyes. I don’t want my phobia to stop me from doing biology but I really don’t want to have a panic attack or anything when I go to college so I think the best thing to do is try and overcome my fear Thing is I’m not sure what’s the best way. I have a book called The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook’ which I have read and followed the advice but it hasn’t seemed to have helped. What are my other options?

I am also doing a level biology this year, and yes it does involve eyes.. and disecting them..
BUT.. before you run screaming for the hills.. i think by confronting your fears and learning about them will help you.
Obviously, dissection may be a bit much.. you dont have to be a part of that.. but flick through and read about them first before you are exposed to the “eye” thing in the lesson.
Relax when you are looking at the information.. how they work really are fascinating.. its amazing!!
Try and have a think about where your phobias come from and try to address them issues.. by confronting your fears you will realise that there is nothing to be scared about.
good luck!! x
