Guthrie first experienced complications in December 2019 after her son Charles threw a train toy at her face. The toy jabbed her in the eye, affecting her retina and requiring immediate surgery.

However, she had to delay it because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Guthrie joked with host Ellen DeGeneres during the appearance about her troubled eyesight being part of the unexpected consequences of parenting.
Later in July 2020, the mother-of-two revealed that she had undergone cataract surgery and shared news about its success on social media. She expressed joy at her improved vision in the accompanying caption.
