Yes. Actually, polarized sunglasses over the contact lenses will enhance daytime vision, while protecting eyes from sun and wind to prevent dryness!

Sunglasses can definitely be worn over contact lenses, and with UV radiation affecting our eyes and the skin around our eyes, this is highly recommended. Please find sunglasses that are UV protective.
Yes, and sunglasses are always recommended to prevent skin cancer of the eyelids, growths (like pinguecula or ptyergium) on the eye, cataracts, and macular degeneration- besides improving your comfort and safety.
