I have recently purchased new glasses. My lenses are "mid" index, and for the first time I got the anti-reflective coating. This is my second week wearing them, and in bright light, if I'm not looking directly through the center, I see a thin halo-type effect of blue and yellow on either sides of objects — even on my computer screen. Is this normal, or are the lenses defective?

In my experience, anti-reflective (AR) coatings do not cause this to occur. You may see a shimmery colored coating when looking at the fronts of the lenses, but not usually while wearing them and looking from the back. The index may be causing this phenomenon — I'm not sure. It's possible it's just normal distortions caused by looking off-center.
I recommend you go back to where you got your glasses and let them figure this one out!
