polarized views

I'm getting some new prescription sunglasses (Ray Ban) soon and wondering whether to go for polarized for the first time.
The main beneift of course is reducing glare and they seem to be widely recommended, although not universally popular with complaints that seem to be mainly around reading screens.
I would not be using them to read any screens including phone, I would be using them in normal outdoor situations and driving.

What has been your experience?

    I think you're going to find people with diametrically opposite opinions on this.

    Great for fishing, good for driving but don't bother with Head up Display option on your next car.

    polarized dont work in the car as the light is filtered through the windscreen and doesn't make the lens react.

    whichever pole you visit, a good pair of shades will be vital equipment .. snow blindness is a terrible affliction
