The ophthalmologist explained the appearance of hemorrhage in Macron's eye

French President Emmanuel Macron, who spoke to military personnel with a noticeable hemorrhage in his eye, was not in serious ophthalmological danger. This was announced on January 15 by Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, ophthalmic surgeon Tatiana Shilova.

"This is a classic picture of subconjunctival hemorrhage. In simple terms, this is a rupture of a small vessel under the mucous membrane of the eye. It looks really scary — the eye is flooded with blood, it turns red, sometimes there is a slight swelling," the specialist explained in a conversation with RT.

According to the doctor, such a condition, as a rule, does not pose a threat to vision. Among the possible causes of its occurrence, she named a sharp jump in blood pressure, severe physical overstrain and chronic fatigue. Hemorrhage can also be caused by increased vascular fragility.
