Damaged Screen Coating Late 2013 Macbook Pro?

15-Inch Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 Model - OS X El Capitan

The coating of my macbook screen has had worn over the period I've owned it, just from cleaning with a cloth that came with the macbook. At first I thought this might just be an isolated issue, however it came to my attention that several other macbook owners have similar damage to the screen coating. I've read a few articles and apparently Apple have a repair ongoing for the screens.

My Macbook is no longer under the warranty due to me purchasing it in late 2013.

My question out of all of this is; Is Apple going to replace the screens and/or the coating? If not is there a way I can fix this and prevent it from happening again?

Hi Cohen, I have the same problem with my Late 2013 MacBook Pro 15in retinal display. Major stain in the middle of the screen. I really think Apple should come out and admit this problem and offer a clear solution to loyal customers. I've owned ~6 MacBook Pros and never seen an issue like this.

Did they fix your problem at no cost? If so, how did you go about it?

Thanks, Ken
