        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Savannah Guthrie</strong> — who <strong>underwent retinal detachment surgery</strong> in late 2019 — will require additional procedures to repair the vision in her right eye.</p><p><strong>Telling People</strong> that her &#8220;eyesight is not great&#8221; following her initial surgery, the &#8220;Today&#8221; show co-host said she will &#8220;have to have a couple of follow-up surgeries&#8221; following the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>&#8220;Eventually I’m hopeful that when everything turns to normal, I’ll be able to schedule those surgeries and I’m hopeful there’ll be a big improvement,&#8221; Guthrie said.</p><p>While she doesn&#8217;t think her right eye &#8220;will ever be the way it once was,&#8221; the 48-year-old believes &#8220;it will be much improved&#8221; once she undergoes more surgery.</p><p>Ahead of Thanksgiving last year, <strong>Guthrie revealed</strong> she had suffered an eye injury after her 3-year-old son, Charley, &#8220;threw a toy train right at my eye and it tore my retina,&#8221; resulting in vision loss. She said at the time doctors were &#8220;essentially trying to weld back this tear in the retina very carefully, and really trying hard to avoid the retina detaching.&#8221;</p><p>In December, Guthrie confirmed she had eye surgery.</p><p>&#8220;If I hadn’t been able to have that surgery, I think I would have probably lost my vision in that eye,&#8221; Guthrie told People.</p><p>Guthrie is hopeful she&#8217;ll be able to take care of cataract surgery later this year.</p><p>&#8220;When you have this retinal detachment, most people will end up developing cataracts, obviously at a much younger age than would normally be expected,&#8221; Guthrie said, noting &#8220;when you have cataracts, you get blurry spots and you notice it more and more.&#8221;</p><p>Amid the current circumstances, Guthrie and several other &#8220;Today&#8221; co-hosts are broadcasting from home.</p>]]></content:encoded>
