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 standard polarized and prism lenses?

Standard polarized lenses reduce glare from horizontal surfaces, while prism lenses enhance contrast and visual clarity by fine-tuning how light enters the eye. Prism lenses are often used by athletes and individuals with specific vision needs, while polarized lenses are more commonly used for everyday sunglasses to reduce 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 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.
