I'm looking for better magnifiers for soldering. I have
this magnifying visor but the focus is so short  I think
I'm going to burn my nose on the soldering iron. I need
something that can focus on the desktop without bending
down. The dentist had really nice glasses with telescope
tubes on them. I bet they're expensive. Any suggestions for
magnifyers for soldering?

A Mantis is fabulous.

Some of the digital microscopes, with built-in LCD screen, are cheap
and good, but in many the support post limits the PCB size that you
can work on.
