Eyewear of the Week: Gast Anima in Caramel
Progressive Lenses in any Prescription!
In honour of Easter and all things sweet this season, we’re spotlighting eyewear that’s as indulgent and satisfying as your favourite caramel-filled treat. Say hello to the GAST Anima Handmade optical frame in a rich caramel acetate – a delicious blend of craftsmanship and style.

This week’s featured pair isn’t just about the looks (though the warm, honeyed tones and handcrafted acetate are certainly showstoppers). It’s also a technical triumph. Fitted with five-barrel metal hinges, these frames are built for both durability and daily comfort.
What makes this pair extra special is the bespoke service we provided for a client all the way in Canada. The glasses have been customised with Zeiss SmartLife lenses, enhanced with BlueGuard coating – a technology designed to reduce blue light exposure from screens while maintaining crystal-clear optics.
Even more impressive? This client has an incredibly strong +13.50 prescription in the right eye and +10.00 in the left – and had previously been told multifocal lenses weren’t an option. But thanks to our specialist knowledge and cutting-edge lens technology, we made it happen – remotely, no less!
Despite the high prescription, we used our precision glazing expertise to keep the lenses as thin and refined as possible, preserving both the aesthetic appeal and wearability of these stunning frames.
The result? A pair of glasses that delivers unmatched vision and sleek style!
