    I did some casual research on this a few years ago and I think there’s another thread about it. I did find at least one Persol in pictures of him, plus a few others. I could not identify the brands because I didn’t recognize the logos. He definitely didn’t always wear Persol.

    He was almost certainly the kind of guy who didn’t give a lot of care to what sunglasses he wore as long as they were effective and comfortable.

    I’ve always wondered about the tinted eyeglasses (as distinct from sunglasses), though. Were his eyes especially sensitive to light? It seems, from photographs that I’ve seen, that there wasn’t much natural light in his office. I’ve read his family physician’s memoirs and there’s no mention of any unusual ophthalmological condition, but tinted eyeglasses seem out of character for him if worn as an affectation.
