Recommendations for behavioral coping strategies for visual height intolerance

(modified from [54])

Vision	Fixate the horizon
	Look at near stationary contrasts
	When looking into an abyss, keep near stationary objects in sight in the peripheral field of vision to maintain visual control of posture
	Avoid large-field motion stimuli (for example, clouds) that can lead to visually induced illusory motion
	Do not look through binoculars without some kind of support/stabilization (misleading visual motion stimulus)
	When standing you may close your eyes for a while (to reduce anxiety)
Position	Sit down or lie down (symptoms maximal when standing, minimal when lying)
	Lean on something, hold tight to something
Locomotion	Pause or stop walking (symptoms increase with locomotion at heights)
Cognition	A cognitive dual task (e.g., naming items from a given category) reduces anxiety and improves balance during stance and locomotion
	Try to overcome any avoidance behavior
