Welding supply shops sell magnifier lenses for welding hoods. I also wear reading glasses sometimes when welding. How much magnification I need varies depending on how close my face is to the action. If I am able to get close, I need more, if there are tubes in the way I need less. This is a function of getting older, our eyeball lenses get stiffer and don't adjust as well as they did when we were younger.
Try a number of glasses of differing magnification till you can see well at the distance you are working. You will be amazed at the difference it makes.
