Default Recommendations for magnifying lenses for fine work

Any recommendations for magnifying lenses for very fine work?

One of the most widely used devices in electronic assembly lines and
many industries is the OPTIVISOR. I've had 2 sets for nearly 40 years
and although one is getting rather ratty from all the workshop abuse,
they are still the simplest thing to toss on and use, even over
glasses. The 10X set focuses at about 4 to 8 inches and the 5X set
maybe 16". They can still be purchased on line from many stores as
tools few fussy work. The binocular lenses are nice and large, with a
good field of view, and little distortion. Highly recommended. Checkit
out.
