Try Pentax Magnifier (M or II). Btw, I'm the one who spread here the rumor
about Pentax's right angle varimagnifier, which in Pentax-speak is called
"Refconverter" (M or A), and which does not invert the VF image. All these
will fit on the OM eyepiece.

Beware of similar Pentax items w/o M/A/II designators. Those are intended
for the Spotmatics and K-series Pentaxes, and won't fit an OM body (they
do fit the Olympus FTL though).
