Atomic makes a mask that has an AR coating as well. Helps with glare.
One thing to keep in mind with some of those darker tinted masks. It could make it harder for your buddy or dive team to see your eyes.

Cressi Big Eyes Evolution Mirrored HD. Super comfortable and fantastic for cutting glare.
Never used one and I will make a naive question... provided most of the dives are at a depth where the light tends to fade away, doesn't this type of mask reduce the visibility underwater? AFAIK some people use this sort of mask for spearfishing, because they say that fishes can even perceive the movement of the eyes of the human/predator and run away, so there is an advantage not to show the eyes. But it's not because of the sun, masks are used where the sunlight shouldn't be a big problem, unless one is exceptionally sensitive to it
The marketing I've seen is usually aimed at divers that spend the majority of their time in tropical locations or more specifically, Instructors that spend a lot more time on the surface with students then your typical diver would.
