In a pinch, but you have to get your nose way too close to the soldering iron.

I stumped up for a set of dental loupes many moons ago and they were nice, but expensive. They're safety glasses to boot.

They're come down dramatically in price since then. https://www.practicon.com/Loupes-Magnifying-Eyewear
