Despite the injury, she was able to host Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade last year along with "Today" co-host Hoda Kotb. However, she had to be careful to avoid vigorous movements due to her eye's delicate nature.

In December, she underwent retinal attachment surgery due to the injury. However, the surgery caused a blurry spot to develop in her eyes, meaning she needed cataract surgery to correct the blurry vision.
