I too am "left eyed" and use the Olympus EP-13 eyecup around the viewfinder of my E-M1. They make an EP-11 for your E-M5. You may want to try that option to see if there is any improvement for you. Previously, I used the VF-2 on my E-P2 to good effect, since that viewfinder is perched above the camera body. The designers don't appear to give us much thought.

Thanks for the suggestion - my EP-11 has arrived, and after some testing around the house, it does seem to allow easier button control with my eye at the VF. Not the most comfortable eyecup, but a definite improvement, and I can see the whole frame without glasses one. With glasses the corners are cut off.
