The mum of the student who tore out her own eyeballs while on drugs spoke out one year after the incident.
Back in 2018, Kaylee Muthart was suffering from a drug addiction, recovering from a mental breakdown and experiencing a tumultuous breakup when she ended up permanently blinding herself.
Just 20 years old at the time, she was under the illusion she had to ‘right the world’ when she gouged out her own eyes during a meth-induced psychotic episode in South Carolina, US.

Muthart’s memories of the terrifying incident are ‘fuzzy’ due to her ‘hallucinating’ but explained to People: “I thought I had to take my eyes out to survive and save the world.”
Reflecting nearly a year after her daughter ripped out and squished her own eyeballs, mum Katy Tompkins said she had ‘been given a second chance’.
