One week since she underwent surgery to repair a tear in her retina, Savannah Guthrie phones TODAY with an update on her progress, saying “Everything’s on track.” She adds that the hardest thing has been sitting still, but “it’s all going to turn out OK.” In Studio 1A, her ophthalmologist, Dr. Donald D’Amico, explains that “she has a bubble in her eye,” but adds that he’s optimistic that her vision will return.

Savannah Guthrie Gives Update On Her Recovery After Eye Surgery | TODAY

I just had that surgery done too. It takes time to heal.

I had a retinal hemorrhage 2 months ago. I still can’t see, but have surgery April 5th... When you don’t have Money or Amazing Insurance Coverage, you’re left to wait on Surgery. Just stating Facts. I hope her Eye fully recovered!! Blessing to her.

Savannah, thanks so much for sharing your story to help others. I saw you walk on the show with difficulty on your first day back. Now, I see why! I’m one week out from vitrectomy/laser/bubble. It’s going to be a long, hard road. Can’t see a thing, work, or drive!

[saydlowski]

I had multiple tears, partial detachment and vitreous hemorrhage three weeks ago. Had vitrectomy surgery with the gas bubble. Today (3 weeks later), the gas bubble has decreased maybe 15%. It'll be a long road -- up to 8 weeks -- untll it's fully absorbed. More and more people are having this, it seems. We need more research as to why!

Wow, I can’t believe the nasty comments on here. I found this segment very interesting as my hubby just had an unexpected tear and had this surgery. I’m trying to learn more about it.

[T.hunstiger]

What an unrealistic and simple presentation of what happened. They make it seem like she will be fine and back to normal. It doesn't work that way. She's lucky she has people to help her.

I’ve had two detached retinal surgeries since October. First time I had silicon oil. Second time same eye I had a gas bubble. It’s been a month since that surgery and my sight in your left eye is still blurry. Doc put the longest lasting gas bubble which is supposed to last 8:to 10 weeks. Really sucks but I should be happy since it’# not cancer or a stroke!

Savannah seems like such a sweet lady so I'm happy for her that she's doing alright 😊. ♥️

Savannah, thanks for sharing. I am on day 6 and I too feel like I am doing things wrong but I am experiencing the same so I guess I am going to be okay...

[buckeyewill]

Nice she has HEALTHCARE

Remember folks, this happened UNEXPECTEDLY.

Think about it.

[davidwayne]

Mine was BAD- so I'm having silicon oil filled inmy eye-- which will stay in indefinitely-- and NO weird positions as a result.. :) Glad you're doing well..

[naomi]

I have the same thing with my right eye so I’m having my surgery sometime next month. I’ve never had a surgery in my life so I’m a little terrified.
Good luck with your recovery, Savannah.

[gilarmenta]

You mean her kid threw a toy train and hit her in the eye?! Holy crap!!!!

[georginab]

I see all these shows in a different light after watching The morning show on Apple TV streamin service

[davidwayne]

He said your retina was torn on the side-- well, mine is like a CONE inside-- but the center is good.. so they're going to laser it back in place-- and then fill it with silicon oil.. so no special positions necessary.. i wonder though- if they'll put in a dipstick so they can check the oil every so often?? ha. kidding- it will stay in and I just get checked every year for any contaminants etc..

[amrose]

Wow a toy train toss did that damage to her eye. She not get out of the way in time. Umm maybe she should teach her kid not to throw things now. He really hurt mommy. Gee be scared of that kid now. Gee i hope she did not say its ok ya hurt mommy its cute. Maybe only plushy toys for that kid now on no more heavy metal toys.

[lmccauley]

I'm glad my kids were well behaved when they were young, never had one of them do such a thing. She may need a different nanny, sounds like he's a spoiled kid and maybe not the brightest either.

[davepark]

Thank God she didn't end up at WillsEye
