What is the difference between UV protected lenses and polarized?

UV lens coatings are designed to block UV rays from reaching your eyes. Polarized lenses block glare (light reflected off of water or snow, for example) and improve vision that way. Polarized lenses do not offer UV protection - they would need to have a UV coating applied.

What is the difference between self-tinting sunglasses and polarized sunglasses?
Polarized sun glass lenses are made to neutralize the effect of glare. A 'glare' is caused when the sun's shining rays reflect off a solid surface or water. A 'glare' is typically horizontally polarized. And the lenses are made of vertical polarizes so that they will effectively neutralize the villainous glare! Advantages of Polarized Sunglasses: Polarized sunglasses are specially made for reducing the harmful effects of glare and eye-damaging light. And they are a perfect boon, for all your outdoor activities. http://www.sunglassreplicas.com/Polarized_Sunglasses_s/50.htm i don't know much about self-tinting sunglasses.
How do polarized lenses block sunlight?
Polarized lenses block sunlight as light reflected from surfaces such as a flat road or smooth water generally is horizontally polarized. This means that, instead of light being scattered in all directions in more usual ways, reflected light generally travels in a more horizontally oriented direction. This creates an annoying and sometimes dangerous intensity of light that we experience as glare.

How can you tell if sunglasses is polarizing?
Instead of rather a complicated and scientific method, you may simply figure it out with two pairs of glasses. Specifically, hold up both lenses and try looking through them both, then rotate one pair 90 degrees. If the sunglasses are polarized, you will not be able to see through these two lenses once you do this. If you do, one of the lenses is not polarized. What's more, try ooking through your lenses (holding them in your hands away from your face) at a window, TV screen or lake with intense glare. Rotate the glasses in a circle facing the glare. The intensity of the glare should change when you rotate your glasses; otherwise, it's not polarized.
What is the difference between a thick convex lens and a thin convex lens?
In optics, a thin lens is a lens with a thickness (distance along the optical axis between the two surfaces of the lens) that is negligible compared to the focal length of the lens. Lenses whose thickness is not negligible are sometimes called thick lenses.
