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?

I have a 'third hand' with a large magnifying glass:

And some stronger reading glasses...

Yes. It's astounding. The clarity and 3D vision are stunning, and it's
great to work and solder under. I got a "compact" Mantis on ebay, and
have 4x and 6x lenses.

I stick my cell phone in the visor and take very nice pictures.
