One example I was curious with if you believe you have an eye disease or if you think that something wrong will happen to your eye as if like lines will specifically start to curve more more as you get older will that potentially be a possibility?
So basically if I picture and imagine the effect happening will it essentially cause a problem to where it’s not curable? I know that seems random but it was just on my mind.
What is the largest capacity of the placebo effect?

There is a negative counterpart to the Placebo effect. It’s called the Nocebo effect.
It’s the same premise: Taking a substance that you “think” (It doesn’t need to be conscious thinking. Placebo also works on babies and animals) can have harmful effects can trigger a negative reaction.
It won’t give you an infection but it can cause more pain or discomfort.
