I mean for reading. Either something you put on the book page to make it bigger or one of those things you put to your eye.

Any ideas/recs?

Like jewellers use? I would say spyglass.

In the "King and I "the King of Siam is confused by the traditional English custom of spying glass. But that's a monocle he is talking about.

Or a telescope? In line of duty this week Chloe used a telescope that was quite small.

It seems all my knowledge comes from TV and films

I think the thing jewellers use is called a loupe.
