The anti glare can be on the OUTSIDE only I have been told, so the the reflection of your eyes and then of the inside of the lens back into your eyes would still be a problem.

All polycarbonate lenses provide 100% protection from the harmful UV rays. This benefit makes them a better choice for shooting glasses over plastic lenses. Plastic and glass prescription lenses require extra coatings for UV protection.

Do polycarbonate lenses have UV protection?
Thinner and lighter than plastic, polycarbonate (impact-resistant) lenses are shatter-proof and provide 100% UV protection, making them the optimal choice for kids and active adults. They’re also ideal for strong prescriptions since they do not add thickness when correcting vision, minimizing any distortion.
You may get EXTRA UV protection added. Maybe a good thing but it seems to me a marketing spiel.
The anti-glare coating goes on both sides of the lens, because it’s glare from behind and beside you that can cause a reflection on the inside of your lenses, making it difficult to see. Not having the coating is like having a white dashboard on a sunny day. You won’t be able to see very well out of the windshield. That’s why almost all dashboards are dark in color on new cars. (If you want to see how bad it used to be with white dashboards, try putting a white piece of paper on the dashboard on a sunny day.)
As for the UV protection, polycarbonate lenses are the cheapest and thickest you can get these days. The optics aren’t as good as you get high index light weight lenses, but they offer the best impact resistance.
The glasses I buy are not polycarbonate lenses. My prescription is so strong that polycarbonate lenses could be as thick as 3/8" in a set of wide frames, and those would be pretty heavy, sliding down my nose.
The point of this is to say, yes, polycarbonate lenses don’t need a UV coating, but if you get anything other than polycarbonate lenses, and paying for the UV coating gives you peace of mind, it’s not much to pay.
I would have though so but I asked for it on the inside and was told that was not ’ standard’ maybe I was misunderstood. It surprised me as I would expect the coating to go on both sides in some kind of ‘bath’
Coincidentally, I just had an eye examination and picked up my new glasses three days ago. I requested the anti-reflection coating and it does make a difference. I had to drive 15 miles to a band rehearsal last night. I believe the anti-reflection coating made a difference. The glare from the headlights of cars in the opposite lane didn’t seem nearly as bad with the new anti-reflection lenses.
