There might be an acid method for making non-glare glass but usually the
"non-glare" feature derives from two different approaches:
A simple micro-texturizing of the front surface breaks up reflections.
Unfortunately, it works just like letting your car's finish go to crap;
yes indeed, you'll see fewer reflections but the deepest tone/color
(D-max) is also diminished. For this reason, many discerning viewers
avoid texturized anti-glare glass.
Another type actually uses multi-coating like fine lens optics for camera
and eye glasses. It can work wonders in almost eliminating reflections in
some lighting environments. As you can imagine, this stuff ain't cheap.
An example is at the following:

Hope this helps,
