Donegan OptiVisor Headband Magnifier - https://doneganoptical.com/product/optivisor/

with optiloupe - https://doneganoptical.com/product/optiloupe/

and Quasar LED lighting attachment. https://www.esslinger.com/led-visor-lighting-system-attachment-for-optivisor-headband-magnifier/

I originally got it when I was doing a bit of electronics work. But every couple of months there'll be times when I really want a hands-free magnified view of something I'm working on, even if it's just for a household chore. There are plenty of cheap knock-off out there, but I believe this is the original. I was at the Intrepid Museum in NYC and there was a photo of a NASA engineer wearing one of these.
