If the rideye uses a typical board camera you could replace the lens with something a bit longer in focal length and you can likely refocus depending on manufacturing methods because those lenses are threaded into place then usually a bit of hot melt glue is used to set them in place. A couple of hard twists usually breaks the relatively weak hot glue bond and then you can thread or unthread the lense some to get proper focus. Usually on these since you want to focus at the hyperfocal distance you start with infinity sharp and then back off the focus until it begins to look fuzzy, reverse the procedure for an eighth or quarter turn and your done. Ebay has a tone of board camera lenses.
