Since the age of 45, I had no chance to solder SMD anymore with naked eyes.
The age takes its toll, since then I need glasses for short distances, anyhow.
Got an assortment of cheapy ones, from 1.0 to 3.0 diopters.
Finally got this one, Eschenbach 16364 binocular loupe, 4x, 200 and something bucks.
Galilei telescope principle, with diopter alignment for each eye.
Works great especially for fine pitch ICs and soldering junction inspection.
Components are really big with it.
After getting acquainted to, they are very comfortable for the eyes.
PS: Never burnt my nose during usage! (25cm working distance)
