loupes
Precision work lenses
Loupes are small magnifying devices, typically worn on the head or mounted on eyeglasses, used for close-up work requiring precision.
Jewelers use loupes to examine gemstones; surgeons and dentists wear them to see fine detail during procedures.
A handheld loupe is the classic tool for inspecting diamonds: He examined the stone through his loupe.
