??? Polarized lenses and IR/UV protection are not related. The lens tint controls the frequencies passed, the polarization controls the reflected light. My sextant has no polarizing filters at all and I can look straight at the sun through a 4X scope.

I guess if not polarized you could wear mirrored glasses for that purpose You guys are right about instruments. With polarized Maui Jim, Gill or whatever else I can only read instruments when they are straight ahead and not at an angle. Chart plotter at helm is OK. This of course often results in lifting the glasses and putting them on top of head or ball cap. This then can result in another trip to sunglasses store. Mike Hoyt Persistence Halifax
