I keep a magnifying glass handy. Good light helps a lot.
I used to be able to see everything on the boards I designed, and even work
on them with a soldering iron. Over the years, parts got smaller and pins
got closer together. At the same time, my eyes got older. It was about
15-20 years ago when they crossed over.
There is another problem in this area. Older eyes can't focus as close. A
magnifying glass fixes that.
