A lattice is said to be essentially metrizable if it is an essential extension of a countable lattice. The main result of this paper is that for a completely distributive lattice the following conditions are equivalent: (1) the interval topology on L is metrizable, (2) L is essentially metrizable, (3) L has a doubly ordergenerating sublattice, (4) L is an essential extension of a countable chain.
