If you can't find an Olympus diopter you can look for a Minolta
diopter.  I've used the Minolta version for the past dozen
years.  These fit right in the back of the eyepiece (no other
doodads needed).  Just put two tiny dabs of glue or something to
the frame to hold it in place.
----------------------------------
There may be multiple solutions.  I note that B&H carries some Contax 
correction lenses that look like the Oly type 1's but I don't know the 
diameter.  They also carry some Pentax M correction lenses which slip 
over the eyepiece frame.  These should work well since the M series 
cameras eyepiece accessories will fit on the OM's.  B&H does have a 
couple of Oly type 2 eyecups/lenses in stock but not even close to the 
strength I need.  In order to keep using my favored tear drop eye cups, 
however, I still need a 19mm lens.  Some private feedback from Ross Orr 
tells me that the Oly type 1 eyecup appears to accept 19mm lenses.
