I was going to post, but then hatake Kakashi stole my post from the future and said exactly what I wanted to. Eye for an eye might be considered barbaric but it is certainly a deterrent, in the immediate sense for this man, and in a greater sense for those others who would commit such an atrocity. They may not be so quick to blind someone with acid if they know the courts will rule in favor of them being blinded as well.
Besides, screw his human rights. He blinded someone with acid out of jealous rage. That's inhuman.
