After offering herself up as bate, Max heads to the Creel house with Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Erica (Priah Ferguson).

She manages to fight off the fearsome creature with the help of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), but Vecna soon overpowers and possesses Max. To be honest, it doesn't look too good — her bones are snapping and her eyes are preparing to explode.

Luckily, El musters to strength to break Vecna's control over Max. As Max returns to the Creel house in the real world, she tells Lucas that she can't "feel or see anything," adding that she is "so scared" and "not ready" to die. Unfortunately, viewers are left heartbroken once Max dies in Lucas's arms; nevertheless, El — who refuses to accept her friend's death — revives Max.

In the final moments, Max is in a coma. With that said, if Max were to make a full recovery, would she be blind?

Well, based on the injuries she sustained, it's likely Max will be blind going forward. Additionally, the Duffer Brothers actually confirmed during a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast that Max is blind and brain dead.
