Woman Rips Out Own Eyes Believing It Would Save World

At just 20 years old, Kaylee Muthart experienced a devastating meth-induced psychotic episode that led her to self-inflict blindness. In February 2018, believing she must "sacrifice something important to save the world," Muthart tore out her own eyeballs outside a church, an act she described as a desperate attempt to prevent global catastrophe. This harrowing event occurred shortly after a painful breakup and mental breakdown, following her use of methamphetamine.

Despite her profound vision loss, Muthart has demonstrated remarkable resilience and courage. She pursued education at a blind school, achieving her high school diploma and mastering essential skills like braille and assistive communication technologies. Now, years later, she is clean and reflects on her life, finding a unique silver lining in her condition. Muthart views her blindness as a "blessing," significantly reducing the possibility of returning to drug use.
