For the OMs a non-OEM teardrop shaped eyecup works well. They used to be readily available for a few bucks and also had a threaded plastic retaining ring to hold a diopter corrector lens. I think the size of the OM eyepiece attachment flange was rather universal at the time.

Chris, a word of caution on the OM-1(n) & OM-2(n) [2(n) in Manual mode!]:

You do need an Eyecup (better if the original Eyecup 1), if you're
planning to use the ttl meter "within reasonable calibration".

If not, light entering through the viewfinder will lead you to
underexpose film: the CdS metering cells are too near the viewfinder,
and read more light than it's actually reaching the film.

A common (near universal?) problem with (D)SLRs. Some models (no Olys, I
believe) came with a dark 'slide' that mounts on the strap and may be
inserted when using on a tripod.

Appropriate use of hand, hat, etc. takes care of it.
