I bought a pair of Zenni glasses that were shipped March 4, which had A/R on both sides of the lenses.
They were 1.67 index lenses in about a +5.00 prescription. To NOT do A/ R on both sides of a high plus prescription is criminal in high index lenses. Coincidentally, I can't say for sure they're really 1.67 index lenses as they're slightly more magnified than my B&M Seiko 1.67's - but that's another story. Perhaps Zenni's lab(s) are the rebels of the industry - don't play by the rules, misrepresent, but shoot lights-out with the prescriptions so they write their own rules? But I'm sure A/R is applied on both sides of my lenses - maybe Zenni's lab doesn't deem milder prescriptions worthy enough for A/R? What prescriptions and lens index are you all ordering?
