Are anti-glare or anti-reflective lenses useful?

Hello. I am a 33-year-old male.

I need to get a pair of glasses with the prescription -5.00, -5.00 for
driving, watching movies in a theater, etc. Would it be useful to buy
lenses that have anti-glare or anti-reflective coating on them?

What exactly does this coating do?

Also, I may buy another pair of glasses to use as reading glasses.
These glasses would be used for reading, computer use, etc. Would
anti-glare or anti-reflective coating be useful for these glasses?

I have had driving glasses and reading glasses before, and I don't
think I've ever had anti-glare coating before. I'm not sure, but I
don't think that not having this coating has been a problem.

The coating can cost as much as an extra $75 for each pair of glasses.
So, is the coating worth the price?

Thanks for any information.

John
