I don't think the punishment she is seeking is at all unfair. I don't know if eye for an eye would apply to all scenarios by default, but it seems fair in this case. What are the alternatives? Money can't return her sight, nothing can. Jail time isn't going to do anything to help the victim.
As for castration for serial rapists... It's not eye for an eye. Psychological torture of some kind would probably be closer to target, but I'm not suggesting that.
I think these cases should be judged based on individual merits and circumstances. This guy knew what he was doing, he knew it would blind her. I don't see any punishment for his crime more suitable than for him to lose his sight as well.
