Well, a lens can actually have both. You can have iridium lenses that aren't polarized, and polarized lens's that also have an iridium coating. Polarized lenses block glare that is magnified by flat surfaces like water and pavement. So basically they eliminate glare, haze, and distortion. Adding an iridium coating helps to reduce even more glare and improve depth perception.
