An eye loupe (10x) works well for me (for really close inspection).
I used to have a magnifier that fitted over my glasses but stood forward
by 5 cm or so, this enabled focussing with magnification at a greater
distance in a narrow field , Ive lost it and have hand made another do
others use these.

Sewing stores have big magnifiers on arms for people doing needlepoint.
They work very nice.
