Is it normal to be scared of eye drops?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to feel nervous about eye drops. The urge to blink and the discomfort of putting something near your eye can make it feel much harder than it is.

You’re not alone: lots of people tense up, blink, or worry they’ll poke themselves when using eye drops. Eyes are sensitive, and it can feel like you’re giving up control for a moment.

If you need to use them, try leaning your head back or lying down, then placing the drop in the inner corner of your closed eye and opening it. You can also ask a pharmacist to show you a technique that feels manageable.
