You'd be surprised what you can achieve from doctor shopping. Look hard enough and you'll find a doctor who will do absolutely anything as long as you can pay for it.

However, it would be extremely unusual for a munchie to have an eye taken out. The headgear isn't permanent, is very conspicuous, and screams "I am disabled", so it's a munchie's dream, but I'm pretty sure even the most dedicated attention whore would stop short of enucleation. So in this particular case I'm willing to say we've found the rarest of specimens: a young woman who actually has (or had) a rare immune disorder.
