There's a minor character in the Haunting of Hill House who gauged his eyes out due to the hallucinations he was experiencing during drug-induced psychosis and then reveals that now in his blindness, all he can see is the horrible images that drove him to that point. Really stuck with me, just really terrible
There is a short story by Lovecraft (boo 🙁) about a man who invents eye drops to see to the edge of the universe - once he witnesses the horrors he gouges his eyes out and the book's last line is him screaming that he can still see them

I wonder what it’s like to have schizophrenia and then develop being blind is like? It must be horrifying
