I recently had successful cataract surgery on both eyes. Normally, I don't require glasses anymore. However, I have lost my close up vision - even with glasses. I used to be able to focus at 5"-6" as clear as day. When constructing or soldering, this was a precious ability.
Soldering for the first time since the surgery and I am nonplussed! I can no longer see the leads and the pads to which I am trying to solder. Even worse, I cannot tell when I have a bad solder joint, including solder bridges or not enough solder. Suddenly, everything seems 10x smaller.
In preparing this post, I have one tool, although awkward. Take a pic and zoom in. But I see a lot of re-soldering with this technique.
Any advice, techniques or ideas that you can share?
