That's because the correction lenses *add to* the finders existing
setting. I made this page quite some time ago for just the reasons you
detail regarding the Olympus finders and diopter correction lenses:

Now that I know I need a +1 diopter correction; how do I get it? 
According to the Oly table I need an Oly lens marked "-1" which is 
actually a +1 lens.

Does anyone know the diameter of the eyecup 1 lenses?  I much prefer the

cheap tear drop shaped third party eyecups which have provision for a 
19mm or 3/4" diameter correction lens.  Is this perhaps a standard size?

  Does anyone know where to get suitable correction lenses without 
custom cutting them out of a cheap pair of reading glasses?  Anybody got

any to sell?  Should I break down and get an OM-4Ti?  :-)
