#3 Ommetaphobia
Ommetaphobia is the fear of eyes and it develops when someone experiences a traumatic event involving the eyes e.g. seeing an eye pop out of a socket, getting hit in the eye or going blind in one eye. A variation of this phobia is when someone feels that someone else looking into their eyes will reveal things about them that they don’t want others to know i.e. a belief that someone else can know what they are thinking simply by looking into their eyes. This specific phobia is called Scopophobia.
Ommetaphobia (sometimes call Ommatophobia) is considered a social phobia because it involves social situations such as looking into someones eyes, being looked at or touching your eyes and it can manifest as extreme anxiety or panic if not dealt with. Treatment can include counseling, hypno-analysis, neuro-linguistic programming and/or medication.
