Dominique,
remember that you have only one pair of eyes and that these cannot be replaced. As a professional model builder I spent many years working with cheap off the shelf 2.5 magnification reading glasses, which did serious damage to my eyes.
I recommend that you obtain a set of bi-focal spectacles from the optomotrists that are correctly focussed for your eyes and which have a 3X maginification in the close up lens and 1.5X in the main lense.
Stay away from Optivisors and similar from discounters.
the best result will come from proper prescription spectacles and lots, lots of light at the workspace.
