French President Emmanuel Macron has become the center of attention at the World Economic Forum in Davos not for policy, but for his indoor sunglasses. Macron has been sporting aviator shades after suffering a harmless burst blood vessel in his right eye, causing it to appear red and puffy. The eyewear, worn during meetings and speeches, has sparked memes and online buzz. Officials reassure the condition is minor, and Macron himself joked about his “Eye of the Tiger” look while addressing spectators.

00:00Recently, world leaders at Davos have been caught talking,
00:29but all eyes seem to be on Emmanuel Macron and not for his speeches.
00:34Instead, it's his sunglasses that have everyone talking.
00:38Yes, the indoor aviators, shades he's been rocking through high-stakes meetings and global forums.
00:44Now, before the internet runs wild with memes and old jokes, let's get to the facts.
00:50Macron has been wearing these shades due to a minor eye issue.
00:53Specifically, he suffered a burst blood vessel in his right eye.
00:57This first became noticeable during his New Year's address to the French armed forces earlier this January.
01:03The result? A bright red, puffy and slightly bloodshot eye.
01:08He laughed it off at the time, calling it his eye of the tiger,
01:12turning a medical cork into a bit of dramatic flair.
01:15The condition persisted and Macron began wearing sunglasses indoors,
01:20first at the Elisee Palace and then carrying them all the way to the World Economic Forum in Davos,
01:26January 19th through 23rd.
01:28Of course, the internet did what it does best.
01:31Memes surfaced.
01:32Old jokes about past domestic incidents and playful shoves circulated.
01:36But, according to official sources, there's zero evidence of anything beyond a simple eye irritation.
01:43No bruises, no assault, just a burst capillary that makes the eye look dramatic.
01:49Macron himself apologized for the shades, but with a touch of his usual wit.
01:54He said he'd have to wear them for a while and humorously told people to put up with it.
01:58So, whether you see it as a medical necessity, a fashion statement, or just classic Macron drama,
02:05the sunglasses are here to stay, at least until that burst blood vessel heals.
02:10And in the world of high-profile politics,
02:13sometimes a simple eye injury gets more attention than global instability itself.
