UV Filter in glasses?

I am just about to go and get an new set of glasses as required in my class one medical. I already have an old, servicable but completely rubbish looking set of plain glasses in the right subscription which are in a bomb-proof case for the 'spare pair' for flying. Therefore I am going to buy a pair of plain glasses and a pair of subsciption sunglasses. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a UV filter in the plain pair?(The sunglasses come with it automatically)
One reason I'm wondering was, during the winter when it isn't bright enough to be wearing sunglasses (ie, when not above the weather) would permantly wearing glasses with UV filters stop ones brain getting that critical dose of sunlight that you need mid-winter to stop feeling horrible and knackered.
