Have yet to lose mine, but a dab or two of clear silicone would do it. Very small dab. Can be messy to clean. Rubber cement would be second choice.

I have to wonder whether the eyepiece is cracked. The one I have never falls off and in fact pretty seriously resists when I need to remove it.

I will give gluing the eyepiece on a try, it will save ordering new ones, I say new one because I always order to replacements. It is one of weaknesses of the A6000. The factory Sony charge is pitiful also. This one fantastic camera those shortcomings aside.

I have the same problem with the Nikon 750 eye piece (the 7200 has the same eye piece too). I was losing them all the time until I bought a Hoodman. I think Vello make one too. It fits very tight you will even have a tough time to get it off. It also cups your eye.
Here are links I found for the Sony cameras.
