I had about 4 pairs of those glasses that have little LED lights in

etc.

In true DIY style a relatively cheap x3 loupe with a piece of bent wire
threaded through to allow it to clip onto my glasses. Sacrificing
binocular vision for high magnification to inspect solder joints. Tow
drilled holes and a spot of epoxy completes the job.

For general use I use my reading glasses and long distance one stacked.
(much like the clock guy on the repair programme)


What do you use?

Cheers, T i m

For very close fine work I have a x10 loupe.

Various types available on ebay.

I used a clip on magnifier on my specs which I could flip up or down as required. Similar to these;
