No, get a pair of gooddr, they’re polarized uva protective and light. If you want to style pay for expensive
Goodr frames are fine, but the lenses are bargain-bin quality. Goodr is what happens when a $5 lens gets wrapped in a clever social media campaign. Great if you lose sunglasses every month, not if you care about optics.

when I worked at a running store, the company pushed goodr. Customer's expected them to be Ray-Bans. They are cheap garbage. But they would get returned because the polarized coating wears off easily and they break. For $20 these people expected a lot. I made terrible money at the time, but I wasn't going to whine that my $20 glasses have a cheap coating on them.
When I got Lasik done, the Dr did a polarized test on my sunglasses I had with me. He wouldnt let me wear the goodr because they had the lowest amount of polarized tint to be labeled as polarized. He tested them on some machine and told me my Oakleys were fine.
Polarization in sunglasses has nothing to do with "tint" a polarized lens has special molecules applied that aligned to form vertical slats that block horizontal sun glare.
Polarization does nothing with respect to eye health or eye damage, it blocks glare and that's it. It does not block UVA - UVB which is what is harmful. If your fake doctor was a real doctor they would have told you to get glasses with UV400 protection which is the gold standard for eye protection and ALL Goodr sunglasses have that. If your doctor is real, they are an idiot and I highly recommend you get a new one.

I lose nothing with the exception of sunglasses so I don’t have them long enough for the coating to wear off. The dogs get them, I leave them places drop them on the street. I would be so angry if the dogs ate my Oakleys’s so I go with a protective lens that gets changed multiple times a yr.
Anecdotally the difference is night and day both for how my eyes feel and how well I can see trails. Goodr’s are absolute garbage. I wore blenders for a while, switched to Oakley’s and never looked back. The quality difference is night and day. Worth the money
When it comes to running, what’s the advantage of polarized?
Polarization cuts down on glare. At some angles, it's not noticeable, but at other angles, the effect is very noticeable. If you look at the sky and tilt your head from side to side, the sky will turn from light blue to darker blue.
Oh, a couple of tips on wearing sunglasses. Wearing a cap or visor will help cut down glare on the lens when you're running towards the sun. I personally like to wear a cap or visor when wearing sunglasses on a technical trail in the woods when the sun is shining because the glare can make it difficult to see rocks and roots. Also, amber tint is better for seeing details like rocks and roots on a wooded trail.
How about tinted car windows? Today I changed for a run in my car, confident that no one could see what I was up to. Did I put on a show?
