There are anti-scratch coatings that increase the surface hardness of lenses (an important feature when using plastic lenses) and anti-reflective (AR) coatings that eliminate almost all glare.

Is there any literature available on how to care for glasses with Anti-Reflection Coatings?

Some lens manufacturers will send out leaflets to optical practices containing advic on ho to care for their lenses so you ask at your local Opticians. The main thing to remember if you have anti-reflective lenses is that they should never be cleaned with soap, washing-up liquid or any other kind of detergent. This can break down the coatings on the lens. Ideally you should use a specialised lens cleaner (available from most optical practices) but be sure to check that it is suitable for anti-reflective lenses. Spray both sides of the lenses and gently rub dry with a lint free cloth. If you don't have lens cleaner, use water. Under a running tap, rub the lenses with your fingers and gently dry with a lint free cloth. Never use your clothes to wipe your lenses. As with all lenses, they will scratch if left lens-down on a surface and you should always keep you glasses in a case to protect them when you're not wearing them.

What is the best way to clean spectacle lenses?

The best way to clean spectacle lenses is to use a specialized lens cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Spray the cleaner on the outside and inside of the lenses and gently rub dry with the cloth. Lens cleaners are available at most opticians, but be sure to check that they are suitable for your lens type. If you don't have any lens cleaner, use clean tap water and rub the lenses with your fingers. Dry with a soft tissue of lint-free cloth.

Are the Nikon Pro Lenses worth the cost and what are the benefits of them?

More expensive lenses usually have more durable construction needed by busy pros and wider / faster apertures (e.g. f:1.4 pro lens maximum aperture vs F:3.5 in consumer lenses). The heavier construction, larger glass elements (needed to let in more light for wider apertures), and fancier coatings add greatly to the cost of professional lenses.
