EYES on the Radio

You might have heard the new advert on the radio for Essilor’s Varilux XR lenses – the ones that sound almost too futuristic to be true. Lenses that use artificial intelligence to learn how your eyes move, anticipate where you’ll look next, and keep everything crystal clear from one glance to the next.

It sounds like science fiction, but we’ve had them for a while – ahead of the trend, as always.

At EYES on St Albans, we love anything that genuinely helps people see better. Jez and the team are all about clever design, real-world comfort, and eyewear that makes you feel as good as you look. The Varilux XR collection takes that one step further: lenses that don’t just correct your sight, they actually think with you.

Essilor’s research team recorded millions of real-world eye-movement patterns and taught an AI system how people naturally look at the world – how we scan screens, glance at faces, check mirrors, and read signs. That information shapes every Varilux XR lens so it anticipates your next movement and adjusts instantly. The result is vision that feels smoother, faster, and more natural than ever before.

Whether you’re scrolling your phone, driving through a misty St Albans morning, or catching up with a friend in town, these lenses handle every shift effortlessly.

Customers describe the difference as “instant clarity.” There’s no adjustment period, no searching for the clear spot – just easy, comfortable vision from day one.

As an Essilor Expert partner, we can offer the full Varilux XR experience with our premium coatings included as standard. Every pair is anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and easy-clean – no bundle gimmicks, no “basic versus upgrade” chat – just exceptional lenses built to last.

Want to add a Transitions tint too? We’ll show you the latest colours and talk through the options that best suit your lifestyle.

So if that radio ad caught your ear, now’s the time to see what it’s all about. Pop in, have a chat, and experience the future of vision right here in Marshalswick – with absolutely no Christmas music in November.
