Lenses
yes, they’re 100% rock and roll
Where the magic really happens
Frames might get the compliments, but it’s the lenses that do the real work. They sharpen your world, protect your eyes, adapt to your life – and when they’re done properly, you’ll barely notice them at all. Except that everything just works.
At EYES on St Albans, we don’t do one-size-fits-all bundles or push ‘what’s in the deal.’ We never have done. Never will.
We do precision, personalisation, and lenses that match your prescription, lifestyle and frame – with everything signed off by Jez, who treats every lens order like a backstage pass to perfect vision.
Whether you’re after crisp single vision lenses, seamless varifocals, next-level sun protection or screen-friendly comfort – we’ll guide you through what actually matters (and skip the fluff).
Lightweight. Scratch-resistant. Anti-reflective. Sun-reactive. Blue light filtering. Ultra-thin. Custom-tinted. Polarised. Sounds like a set of menu choices. The thing is all our lenses do all that – and we’ll help you choose ones that look as good as they perform.
Your style, your personality – if you’re going to wear glasses every day, they should feel amazing.
And when the lenses are this good, you will notice the difference.
Essilor Experts
Exceptional lenses. No gimmicks. Just clarity, comfort and clever design – done properly
At EYES on St Albans, we’re an official Essilor Expert practice: that means we’re trained and trusted to work with the very best lenses Essilor makes, using cutting-edge technology to get outstanding results.
Essilor have done some pretty incredible things with AI. From Varilux® varifocals to Transitions® lenses, advanced algorithms help design lenses that are more personalised, more accurate, and more comfortable than ever. Each one is tailored to your prescription, your frame, and the way you use your eyes – whether that’s reading, driving, working or all of the above.
We don’t do ‘basic’. Every lens we supply comes with all the premium coatings – and we mean all of them. Other places charge extra. We include them as standard:
- 100% UVA & UVB absorption
- Blue light filtering
- 14 layers of multi-antiglare – front and back
- Water-repellent coating
- Dust-repellent finish
- And a 2-year scratch warranty – because life happens
These are lenses designed for real life – so you don’t have to worry about rain, screens, fingerprints or glare. Just get on with seeing clearly, comfortably and confidently.
What does the warranty really mean?
It means exactly what it says.
Every lens we sell comes with a 2-year scratch warranty that covers everything – even if your dog chews through them (yes, really).
We’ll replace the pair – same prescription – completely free of charge, as long as you return both lenses. It’s simple, fair, and exactly what we’d want if we were you.
Varilux – because life doesn’t happen in one focal point
The majority of our customers choose Varilux® lenses – Essilor’s top-of-the-range varifocals – for seamless, natural vision at every distance. No tipping your head. No awkward blur. Just smooth, crystal-clear transitions, powered by AI and decades of optical expertise.
Transitions – light-smart lenses with serious style
We offer the full range of Transitions® light-adaptive lenses, including the latest generation tints and mirrored finishes. These clever lenses adapt quickly to changing light, offer full UV protection, and come in a wide choice of colours – so you can stay stylish while keeping your eyes comfortable and protected.
“As an Essilor Expert practice, we don’t just offer brilliant lenses – we know how to get the best from them.”
