What do you need is a pair of Jewelers' glasses.

Something like the image I attached.

You can usually find them for pretty cheap.

Many pairs like this are designed to be worn over your own set of glasses.

    If it helps to hear - I have the same issue, and I always just wear two (or even three!) pairs of my normal glasses at the same time, one over the other.

    I look ridiculous, but it gives me good magnification.

    So, really, anything like this should work for you. As long as it's in front of your eyes and improves magnification, the fit should be good enough.

    I recommend picking one up from some place that lets you return it, if you don't like it.

    I like ring lamps for this. Here is a link to what I mean. I don't have this one but something similar.

    Good lighting in your workspace is really important. I like a mix of color temperatures
