Llorente’s Unconventional Health Regimen Faces Scrutiny at Spain Camp After Laporte Adopts Yellow Glasses

An optics expert has questioned the scientific basis of the tinted eyewear after the Atlético Madrid midfielder’s routines gained visibility with the national team.

Overview

  • Recalled by Spain, Marcos Llorente promotes strict control of light exposure, using yellow lenses indoors by day and red lenses and lamps after sunset.
  • Aymeric Laporte arrived at Las Rozas wearing yellow-tinted glasses following Llorente’s public explanations, drawing attention to the trend within the camp.
  • Optometrist Imanol Carretero told El Correo there is no scientific evidence the yellow lenses prevent eye strain or retinal disease and called them a marketing strategy, noting only limited links between blue light and circadian rhythm.
  • Llorente follows a paleo-style diet with intermittent fasting and starts his mornings with coffee mixed with two to three tablespoons of butter.
  • He has voiced doubts about airplane contrails and says his routines are personal health choices he will continue after football, rejecting claims that he denies melanoma risks.
