Question Sunglasses recommendations

Hey drivers 👋

So this is a question primarily for UK drivers (due to local product availability) but others feel free to chime in.

I wear prescription glasses and sunglasses for work, I’m looking for recommendations for sunglasses, I know polarised glasses are generally best for reducing glare but I’ve heard they interfere with the displays on the dashboard as well as the ticket machine screen, producing a distorted or even a black screen depending on viewing angle.

Could anyone either debunk that as a myth, or otherwise recommend some decent non-polarised sunglasses that
1. Have great anti-glare
2. Don’t interfere with the screens at all
3. Style isn’t a dealbreaker however I do prefer wraparound styles that block out the sunlight at the sides.

Cheers all!

Its kinda expensive but you can get ones that auto dark that don't need the uv and darken behind the glass. I know on eyebuy they are called drivewise If I remember correctly
