You could probably just get a magnifying glass. Any brand would do.

I inspect my plants by eye and usually catch them as they’re starting to make webs or if certain parts of the plants look a bit more wilted than others.

You don't really need a microscope to see spider mites but you will in order to see flat mites which love hoyas. You can find microscope phone attachments on Amazon if that's of help. =)
