For almost five months, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau was forced to give up her place on TF1’s 1 p.m. newscast. It was Jacques Legros who was called in to replace her daily while she was being treated for a serious eye infection. Indeed, the journalist was affected by “amoebic keratin”. It is a rare disease which affects less than 100 people per year in France and which can occur due to bacteria present on contact lenses. Marie-Sophie Lacarrau has unfortunately had a bad habit in recent years of clean his lenses with tap water. A “fatal combination” as she called it during an interview for The Parisian.
As a result, Malo and Tim’s mum was forced to stay in the dark for two long months while undergoing treatment. An ordeal behind her today since Monday, May 16, 2022, she was “delighted” to make her comeback on the air. “So we resume our good habits, as if we had never left each other“, she declared at the beginning of the newspaper.
There is, however, a habit that she has well and truly got rid of, that of wearing her contact lenses of course. Marie-Sophie Lacarrau then had only two choices to ensure the exercise: that of wearing glasses or throwing subjects without a teleprompter, as Jean-Pierre Pernaut did before her. It is finally towards this second option that the journalist turned. “I am very comfortable with glasses in everyday life. On the air, I still have some reservations. I still don’t quite recognize myself with my glasses. I prefer to give myself time. During my testsI tried the formula without glasses and without a teleprompter, and I enjoyed the exercise, quite simply. This is the position in which I felt the most comfortable. Like Jean-Pierre Pernaut. It’s an extra wink“, she explained, contacted by Entertainment TV.
On Monday, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau had left nothing to chance to ensure her news: “I did not feel any form of apprehension, because we have done many tests for ten days. I recorded a dozen blank JTs! It was necessary to find the intensity of light bearable by my eye. So I knew I’d be able to absorb this news“.
