00:00Wearing sunglasses once again? If you've seen Emmanuel Macron in the news lately,
00:04you've probably noticed the sunglasses he's wearing indoors and at official events.
00:08No, it's not a new fashion statement. There's a very practical reason behind it.
00:12It all started when he showed up with a noticeably red right eye.
00:16People first caught glimpses of the irritation back on January 15th,
00:20during a New Year's ceremony for the French military.
00:22Macron actually addressed it directly, telling the crowd it wasn't anything serious.
00:27The Elysee Palace later cleared things up, explaining that the redness was just a burst blood vessel,
00:33not a disease, and definitely not an infection.
00:36So, why the shades?
00:37His office says the sunglasses are just to help with light sensitivity,
00:41while the minor irritation completely heals.
00:43Turns out, what might seem like a big statement with sunglasses really is due to something so simple.
