If you have binocular vision (both eyes work together and almost equal
corrected vision) I think you'll find an Optivisor to be superior to the
Mag Lamps. It is a headband with lenses that can be lowered over your
current eyeglasses. If you get about an 8" working distance,you can
solder and see the smallest of solder "bridges". Its also fairly
comfortable.
Just google optivisor, they have some off brand copies for about $20.

I have learned that the "helping hands" I got from Radio Shack do not
provide nearly
enough Magnification nor any illumination of the PCBs and components for
kit
building. In building the K2, I have made numerous soldering errors due
to the fact
that my vision is not as good as it used to be. Any information out
there on where
a good MAG LAMP could be had. What brand name, company, etc.. Or web
site address.
Preferably one under 100.00 dollars. Thanks. Dennis Vavra, AD5LY
