No. In Judaism "an eye for an eye" is not taken literally. It's a figure of speech and its meaning is that money is paid for the wound. The monetary loss of an eye is paid to the victim; whatever the loss of an eye costs him (in pain, loss of earning, comfort). Thus he gets (the value of) an eye for his eye (Talmud, Bava Kama 83b). The same applies to all wounds.
However, personal protection under threat or attack is permitted and expected and may take whatever form is needed, but not more.
