I went a simpler way I purchased decent over the counter reading glasses in a few ranges 1.5, 2.25 and 3 My eyes are still pretty good on their own but with the stronger glasses I can see those pesky smd's just fine for inspection and soldering, even reading the values if they have them printed . I like these better then the optivisors because they are lighter, more comfortable and have a much wider field of view. These are available at most drug stores and department stores. I have a pair of optivisors but never seem to use them anymore.
BTW I find that even working on the old stuff I use the milder lenses currently restoring a TX1 Apache and a KW2000b just makes it a little easier to see.
