Macron Wears Sunglasses at Davos Due to Eye Condition

French President Emmanuel Macron wore blue-tinted, mirrored aviator sunglasses at the World Economic Forum in Davos due to a minor eye condition, specifically a burst blood vessel. He was first seen sporting the sunglasses at Elysee Palace in Paris. Macron addressed the reason for wearing them, mentioning it was a “mild eye condition”. The eyewear choice sparked speculation, but it was primarily for medical reasons, not just a fashion statement. The sunglasses appear to be Louis Vuitton Pilot Attitude sunglasses from 2009.
