EYES on lighting up your life – Beat Autumn Glare with EnChroma LX Lenses

Autumn evenings in St Albans are beautiful – golden leaves, bright shop windows and the Abbey glowing after dark – but for many of us, they come with one big challenge: glare.

That low autumn sun on Hatfield Road, the dazzle of headlights on wet tarmac, or floodlights at Clarence Park can all make your eyes work overtime. Glare isn’t just annoying; it causes tired eyes, slower reactions, and can make night driving stressful.

We’ve been doing this for a while now (we don’t remind Jez about how long he’s been in the industry too often) – we know how much difference the right lenses can make. That’s why we now offer EnChroma LX lenses, specially designed to cut glare and boost contrast. Originally developed for people with light sensitivity and low vision, they’re now a favourite for anyone who wants clearer, more comfortable vision through autumn and winter.

How it works

Unlike standard anti-reflection coatings, LX lenses use selective light filtering to reduce harsh wavelengths while keeping useful detail sharp. The result? Fewer dazzling headlights, clearer street signs and less squinting on the drive home.

Real-life feedback

Customers tell us the improvement is instant:

“I don’t feel like I’m blinking against every car light anymore.”
“Everything looks sharper – even road signs in the rain.”

And it’s not just for driving. LX lenses make a big difference for walking home after dark, enjoying concerts at the Pioneer Club, or watching evening matches at the Saints’ ground (wasn’t that extra time goal in the FA Cup qualifier against Banbury awesome..?).

Style meets science

These lenses can be fitted to almost any frame – from bold Kirk & Kirk colour to classic Moscot or sleek Porsche Design. Whatever your look, there’s an option that keeps your eyes protected and your style on point.

See the season clearly

Glare is part of life in the darker months, but it doesn’t have to spoil it. With the right lenses you can enjoy the best bits – fireworks, city lights, autumn sunsets – without the dazzle.

You know what to do – just pop and try EnChroma LX lenses for yourself (or book an appointment and get a proper EYES examination too). You’ll see the difference – literally.
