eyepiece magnifier? those L-shape thingy might work?

Also, I think you got the eyes here. =) with a catchlight even. hehe.

To maximize DOF, go parallel with your subject. then you can maximally make use of the sharp zone to place your eye.

Show more!

The eye look sharp to me.

Only nit that its too center. Try to place the eye at the rules of third intersection...and for this case, the top right intersection.
