UV400 vs polarised: what’s the difference?

UV400 means the lens blocks all ultraviolet light up to 400 nm. That’s about health: UV exposure raises the risk of cataracts and retinal damage.
Polarisation filters horizontal glare reflected from water, snow and wet roads. Colours look crisper and your eyes tire less — ideal for drivers and anglers.
Which one?
UV400 is a must in every pair of sunglasses. Polarisation is about comfort; note that it can make some phone screens harder to read.
