What would be the best lens material to reduce computer glare? Along with an AR coating are there any other recommended coatings/tints?

No AR coating needed for this purpose............................

Great thanks, will CR39 still be suitable even though the prescription is +3.50/-0.75x180 in right eye and +3.75 in left eye?
No you have to go with hilite crown glass!
If you are an optometrist!
AR will help much more than any tint will to reduce glare on the surfaces of your lens. And CR39 lenses could be very thick and heavy in that RX unless you're working with a pretty small frame. Do you not have an optician at your practice with whom you can consult on these questions?

More comfort....................less fatigue
When I work on the computer 10 hours plus per day, I want comfort...........................
AR transmits more light, I want and need less of it.............................,
The color will smoothen the appearance of the computer screen and absorb some of the emitted blue light.
More comfort....................less fatigue, is what I want.
AR.
NOT tint. That's insane frankly.
If you need to alter the brightness, contrast, or color cast (less blue) for you particular monitor(s), there are these great little inventions some person made years ago. They're called buttons! And they magically alter every possible aspect of your monitor(s) - for your viewing pleasure. :) FAR more adjustable than a tint will ever be. And you will absolutely want that extra light transmission in low light/dark scenarios.
I've never seen an Rx with a forward slash after the sphere power.

..............working 10 hours on the computer out of 24 every day, I believe that I have learned what's best for me.
I do not have to sell glasses for a living, so I do not have to worry about pushing the most expensive coatings. I can simply do what I believe is best for me.
I love to have a bright room, a very bright screen for work on the computer and when needed, I can easily dampen the bright light with my glasses according to the time of the day or night, as well as the colour wanted.
You have to do what's comfortable for you, of course, but I haven't seen tints recommended for computer use since the '80s. The early '80s. Tints increase a lens's opacity, which increases the reflections on the front and backside of the lens. Now you have light being emitted from the screen plus you have more defined reflections from the screen on the front side plus more reflections from environmental lighting on the back side. Your insistence on a very bright room and very bright monitor is insistence on the most eyestrain-causing environment possible.
Once again, the insistence that we are "pushing the most expensive coatings" by recommending anti-reflective coatings is complete and utter nonsense. The science is clear, and has been for decades, and every optical professional with whom I've ever discussed the issue, except one, knows this.
