Emmanuel Macron went to work on Wednesday wearing sunglasses and asked staff and collaborators to "accept" him like this, making fun of the situation.
This appearance comes a day after the release of footage where the French president appeared in public with a red and bloodshot eye, which sparked curiosity and concern among citizens.
The Elysee Palace reacted immediately, asking people not to worry and explaining that it was a ruptured blood vessel in the eye.
Officials stressed that the situation posed no risk to the president's health and that it was a temporary problem.
In a more light-hearted and humorous tone, Macron took the opportunity to joke, "I now have the vision of a tiger," he said, turning the minor health problem into a funny moment.
His appearance in sunglasses was met with smiles from staff and social media commentators, some of whom commented that it adds a "mysterious and sporty aura" to the president's image. /Telegraph/
