Woman who gouged out own eyes on meth has turned life around

SWNS

A woman who gouged out both of her own eyes in a meth-induced psychosis has turned her life around - giving up all substances and helping others.  In 2018 Kaylee Muthart, then 21, ripped out her eyes in a meth-induced psychotic frenzy, while a horrified bystander struggled to restrain her.  She was rushed to hospital where doctors informed her that she would be permanently blind, and she was eventually fitted was prosthetics.  She entered rehab and made a firm commitment to overcoming her drug addiction.  Seven years on, she's now channeling her experiences into helping others.
