I just use 3x reading glasses. Works well for me for 0805 at least.

I just use JLCPCB 😄

I don’t think anyone does SMD soldering without some form (or, my case, forms) of magnification.

Well maybe I'm the exception?  I have not found a comfortable and usable form of magnification for the soldering itself.  Doing 0805 and soic I generally haven't had any trouble without, despite being very nearsighted all my life.  I do have a headset magnifier and a desktop USB microscope but they're for inspection not soldering.
