Yes, lizards have eyelids. For more information on lizards see link below in the related links section.
i think you question was do lizards have eyelids and the answer is yes lizards do have eyelids that is how you tell a legless lizard from a snake if you want to see if it is a lizard or a snake then all you have to do is look at their eyes if they have eyelids you will see either a thin layer of skin or you will see them blink if it is a snake it will not blink and wil not have a layer of skin.

Tuatara have 3 eyes and are commonly mistaken for lizards. They actually belong to the Rhynchocephalia order. There are only two species of Tuatara remaining which have survived in this entire order.

No, but many lizards, particularly those that are native to sandy environments or those that live primarily in water have a nictitating membrane that can cover and protect their eyes, but still allow them to see.

Actually, Anoles have 3 eyes. One is on top of it's head - it doesn't see images, it sees light and dark. Some scientists think it uses that eye to figure out if it's getting enough sunlight or not.
