Yeah non-polarized is required.
I have a nice pair of Maui Jim's that are basically useless for LCD type instruments. I even asked if they are available in non-polarized and my eye Dr. called Maui Jim and they said no. Third party lenses are available though.

I've been using Ray Ban Aviators with G15 gray/green lenses for decades and they work for me. They are not polarized and I can see both the iPad and my Garmin screens without any problems.

Prescription
Lots of on-line vendors for prescription glasses. I generally get mine from Zenni. They do make lesses in non-polarized.

I have Vedalo's which are great. Not too dark amber lens, very light with small arms so the ear cups on my Zulu 3's seal well. I got them at Spruce but I don't think they carry them any longer.
Check out the Scheyden's as well. They have some nice ones in various frames and lens colours. Have used RayBans and Serrenghetti's as well. All just personal preference and how much you want to spend.
As has been said, always non-polarized for flying.

Lucky me, my optometrist is a pilot. I have RayBan Aviators, with graded lenses. He also mad me a pair of Oakleys, both are graded bronze, I’m not a fan of the G15 green/gray lenses.
Graded let’s me see the EFIS displays easily and the top takes car of my forward vision.

I got a pair of Method Sevens at OSH a couple of years ago. It was the promo Lightspeed had if you bought a Zulu 2 or 3. I really like the Method Seven sun glasses.
I dropped them on the floor in my hangar once and broke one of the lenses and they repaired it under warranty. Recently, one of the ear "protector" pieces came off the arm and I lost it, they repaired/replaced that too, under warranty.
Good folks, good glasses.
