Are there eyecup or viewfinder extender options for Fujifilm HS-series cameras like the HS25/HS30?

I find the electronic viewfinder on Fujifilm HS-series cameras uncomfortable to use because the eyepiece sits too close to the rear LCD, which can cause nose contact and smudging. Fujifilm doesn’t seem to list a dedicated eyecup or extender accessory for models such as the HS25 or HS30.
Are there any third-party viewfinder extenders, magnifiers, or eyecup accessories that can work on these cameras?

Many manufacturers offer viewfinder extenders, but Fuji doesn't list one among the accessories for HS-series cameras. However, there are some third party "viewfinder magnifier" options that fit cameras from a number of manufacturers, including Fuji. It's hard to say whether these would fit your model (especially considering the age of this question) but they appear to move the eye cup at least a couple of centimeters farther from the back of the camera. All the models I see on Amazon look like they're the same product with different names: Prost, Sonovel, Toazoe, and GMYSTRIVE. All are priced within $0.11 of each other and cost around $26.

Fujifilm does not appear to offer a dedicated viewfinder extender or eyecup accessory for the HS-series. The most likely workaround is a third-party viewfinder magnifier/eyepiece extender.
Several generic accessories sold under different brand names are made to fit a range of cameras, including some Fuji models. These typically extend the eyepiece farther from the back of the camera, which may help with nose clearance and LCD smudging. Compatibility with a specific HS model isn’t guaranteed, so check the mount style and measurements before buying.
In short: there’s no known Fuji-made solution for the HS25/HS30, but generic third-party viewfinder magnifier/extender accessories are the main option to try.
