Greetings all, hope everyone here is having a wonderful start to Spring!

Wanted to see if anyone knows if there is a 3rd party that makes an eye-cup attachment for the SL3 or SL2 EVF (they have same EVF dimensions) I am looking to have a more fully blacked out viewing window like the reference below. 
 

Any thoughts greatly appreciated! 

Thanks, BEN JACKS // www.ben-jacks.com

Field Optics Research makes rubber binocular "eyeshields," one size of which fits securely around the perimeter of the SL/SL2SL2-S eye cup.  I think B&H sells them.

Assume not a viable option for eyeglass wears?

@algrove sorry for delay. These eyecups do block out light but I do think with glasses they may be a little challenging, I have to press my face against them to really black out the light because of how narrow they are, so they are not the total solve the problem. In an ideal world there would be a wider cup that is best for people with and without glasses. The search continues!
