Thought I would introduce a product that's been around for decades, and makes a good alternative to traditional loupes.
It's called the 'OptiVisor'. It's a high-quality professional binocular magnifier, held in place by an adjustable headband.
The product includes a visor between your forehead and the lenses, covering the top and both sides, to shield your eyes.
Sufficient clearance is provided to permit normal eyeglass usage.
The standard version has glass lenses. A less-expensive version with plastic lenses is available.
Interchangeable lenses are available in various powers up to 10x. Just attach whichever one you want/have.
The pic above shows an auxiliary magnifier mounted over the right lens, which swings out of the way if not wanted.
It's an accessory, sold separately. It's not provided with the standard product.
These are designed for use in industrial assembly and inspection where they're worn eight hours a day, so they're comfortable.
They're available everywhere, including industrial suppliers and hobby shops.
