I use a magnifying headset but instead of getting the magnifier close to the ant... I have to get my whole head close.  It has a light on it between your eyes so it works in that sense too.   I don't know the brand but they have them on Amazon for 30 bucks or so.

I’ve got a few magnifying lenses around and have found my Carson 5x Minibrite to be most excellent for ant viewing.
