I'm actually ambivalent about polarization; the panels in our two cars are digital and the glasses turn the panels all sorts of blue-yellow hues.
Bear in mind that your cataract lens replacements almost certainly have UV protection built into the formulation: mine do.
Maybe I'm fortunate that the only thing the polarized lenses in the sunglasses seem to negatively affect is my LCD wristwatch. Everything else is unaffected, including my digital dashboard.
