I have a fear of anything touching my eyes, I can’t even put eye drops in. What would be the name of the phobia of that? Like ‘something-phobia’.

Thanks.
Why isn’t it a phobia?
This is not a phobia.
What is with people and eyes tonight? I’ve never known anyone else who doesn’t like things being close to their eyes or just being afraid of eyeballs in general and you’re the second person tonight! Good to know I’m not alone.
A fear of eyes in general is called Ommetaphobia.
im the same way. i might have developed it since I am legally blind in my right eye.
I’m the exact same way! I can’t touch my eyes and I can’t see anyone touching an eye, it just freaks me out. But yeah, my doctor actually told me once that it’s not a fear, it’s just a complex. “An exaggerated reaction to a subject or situation.”
Um, that’s what phobias are, right? Apparently, the difference is that something must have happened to make us feel this way, so it doesn’t count. -__-
