Ok from the reciept here it is:
1) Slimlite clears (type of lences)
2) Anti Reflection Coating
3) Poly/EV4.0/PLZ EOPP

Answers:
I could help you figure it out but your link says the file doesn't exist. Check that out and edit the question with a new link and then I can help you.
Coatings typically on eyeglasses: UV, ARC/AR, SRC/SC
UV coating: protects from harmful UVA & UVB rays
ARC/AR : Antireflection coating reduces glare and reflections. This helps with night driving and computer use.
SC/SRC: Scratch resistant coating it protects lenses from scratches... but doesnt prevent them.
EDIT*** where it says "poly" that type of material has UV protection already in it... it doesnt need the UV coating! Hope that helps! :)
"Polycarbonate lenses also have built-in ultraviolet protective properties. Similar to the way that sunblock prevents the sun's rays from damaging the body, UV protection shields the eyes from the same detrimental light rays. Other types of plastic lenses must be specially treated to block the same amount of UV, but polycarbonate lenses automatically offer this protection."
