  When you buy polarized sunglasses, you must check it's labels that if it indicated UV protection. There is no label, or it says something vague like "UV absorbing" or "blocks most UV light" , you shall not choose it, because polarization itself does not block UV light. Besides, you also need consider the polarization of the lenses. You can check the sunglasses in the shop before buying them to determine whether or not the lenses are authentically polarized. Usually, retail outlets that sell sunglasses make testers available for you.
