The actress was hit by a heavy knot on a rope while gardening, which resulted in the loss of sight in her right eye. Despite the incident, she maintained 20/20 vision in her left eye, which helped her continue working.
In 2022, Lisa experienced another incident with her left eye after celebrating Katie McGlynn's 29th birthday. While driving on the M3, her left eye "went really weird", which she described as a "very frightening" experience. Despite this, she managed to get home and take herself to A&E. The reality of her situation hit her when she attended a theatre production in Manchester, she said. During a performance of Romeo and Juliet, when the stage went to blackout plunging the actors into darkness, she said she realised she may never act on stage again.
