I'm sure you can buy the part from Olympus. Then you can and do it yourself.

Subject: [OM] rear coating
I received a Zuiko 50/3.5 with a permanent fingerprint on the rear element.
The fingerprint does not come off with standard lens cleaner. It's easily
noticeable but not heavy. Would such a defect have more effect on contrast at
close focus or at far focus?
I have asked John Hermanson about repair, and I think the total rear element
replacement cost would be over $100. The rest of the lens is near-mint.
Any advice?
