Is there any coating available as " Anti Glare Coating". Not Anti reflection coating.
And is there any benefit by using a plano ARC lens for computer users?:o

No.
Anti-reflective, anti-glare, no-glare, all the same thing. Semantics. Polarized lenses with the filters oriented at 90 degrees reduce glare from flat horizontal surfaces, but I don't think that's what you're referring to.
To your second question, there is no benefit. The AR coat is used to reduce reflection from the lenses as much as possible. with no lenses, there are no reflections that an ar coat would be useful to reduce.

*Head->Desk* AARRRGGGHHH!!!! I am so sick of dispensers chosing words out of the marketing mottos to cut it down to "anti glare" when describing Anti reflective lenses. It is sooooo misleading!! Anti Reflective coatings "help reduce glaring reflection"..... -_-* So I then have to explain to people who have this "anti glare" idea in their heads in regards to their AR lens coating and 2 things usually happen.... I make the other dispenser (from another optical store who has used the incorrect term) look like an idiot for misleading the customer, or... the customer insists that the other optical store said its anti glare, so it is antiglare and that we are incompitent twits who are not up with technology. lets just say its a 99:1 ratio.. (so I guess I shouldnt be too unhappy about the wording some dispensers come up with... it creates more loyalty being thorough and honest...)...ahhh *sigh*, rant over! :D
ahhh, no... no advantages to using plano arc lenses for any visual correction... unless its for safety glasses
Its ok!.....I work at an independant!....and no, thats NOT on sale.
As FineFocus said, NO. Glare is a monumentally misunderstood phenomenon and a word often misused.

- Glare (vision) is difficulty seeing in the presence of very bright light
- By extension, any sort of bright light capable of causing glare
- A form of light pollution or over-illumination
Yes, safety, or for stylin'....might impress the cutie in the library!
There could be a huge safety factor... you are less likely to get hit in face while wearing glasses.
Have you tried, except antireflexion, heliomatic lenses for anti glare?
Oh crap...I thought it was supposed to ward off the evil eye. I was only selling to the superstitious.
From what seems that you want..nop. If you discover any, let us know.
Ok, and you are talking of...what?
Since you are from Romania i will explain. Anti-glare=confusion to customers. Thread topic and well understood misconception
A glare in common usage can also be an angry stare.
Hence my anti-glare definition could reduce the amounts of angry stares you receive. We will now continue with our regularly scheduled programming
