There are three Olympus diopter lenses available on UK Ebay at the
moment: -1, -2, and +1:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1377026871

The seller ships internationally.
An alternative is to buy a "generic" lens made by an independent
manufacturer, and probably marketed by large camera stores as their own
brand. I bought a "Jessops brand" lens from Jessops in the UK, and it fits
the Eyecup 1 perfectly. It might be worthwhile trying your local camera
stores to see what they have. One caution: there is some confusion about
lens strengths (different manufacturers use different systems), so if you
think you need (say) -2, you might actually need -1, -2, or -3 (depending on
how the manufacturer "rates" the lens strength).
