Are polarized sunglasses better than UV sunglasses?

Polarized and UV sunglasses offer the same protection; however, polarized sunglasses provide clearer vision and alleviate the eye strain that you can get when wearing UV sunglasses. It can be difficult to tell if sunglasses are polarized or just tinted if the label isn't clear, you can check for yourself by tilting your head 60 degrees. If the light's intensity increases, the sunglasses are polarized. There would be no change with tinted glasses.

How do I know what shape sunglasses to buy?

The general rule is to buy sunglasses that are the opposite shape of your face. If your face is round, you'll want to purchase sunglasses that are square. If your face is triangular, you'll want rectangular sunglasses. If your face is long, go with a wide frame, and if your face is short, you'll want a thin frame.
