    Prime Minister Harper's new rimless glasses

    I can't seem to figure out which rimless frame he's wearing. Anyone know?

    It seems he's wearing glasses more often according to this source. Although it's not the frame he's seen wearing in this photo.

    Perhaps his age has caught up with him and contacts and reading glasses are just not doing it for him.

    If he's doing it for image he has a LONG way to go...

    The frame looks narrow for his head, I do not believe it was fit by an optician ....

    Sure looks like it could have been a couple of mm wider with the same depth....I doubt many unlicensed opticians would get the chance to fit our PM.

    I agree with the observation that the lens dimension should have been about 2 or 4 mm more horizontal, than chosen.

    I agree . They are too small . Makes his head look fat. Maybe Kevin Falcon fit them ?

    Just because Kevin Falcon changed the law in BC allowing Coastal contacts to continue existence selling contacts online and now eyeglasses, what gives them the right to sell in Canada's other provinces, where we don't share a level playing field with BC. Its illegal to sell contacts over the counter elsewhere and or have a non licensed Optician fit eyeglasses.
