Who’s Behind Lovemylens?

‘The Optical Insider’

Dr. Gerald Gaul, better known as The Optical Insider, is here to change how you see literally. If you haven’t heard of him yet, you’re about to.

After 30 years as an eye surgeon trained at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Gaul saw something most people miss: the eyewear world had gotten unnecessarily complicated and far too expensive. So he created The Gaul System, a simpler, smarter way to test your vision and craft lenses that actually work for your life.

Dr. Gaul is a lifelong fan. He loves the personality, the design, and the history behind them. But he also knows that great frames are only half the story. The lens is the heart of every pair of glasses. It’s what actually lets you see clearly. Frames and lenses belong together, but they don’t have to come from the same place. That’s why Gaul Optical specializes in custom lenses for any frame, designer, vintage, or something you’ve had for years.

At Gaul Optical in Midtown Atlanta, great vision is effortless. Walk in with your favorite frames and walk out with new, perfectly fitted lenses made for how you see, not just what’s written on your prescription.

Inspired by the timeless Windsor System from the 1880s, Dr. Gaul reimagined it for the modern world using Cerchio titanium frames and Hoya Phoenix progressive lenses. The result? Smart, sustainable eyewear that’s built to last just like the people who wear it.
