ABSTRACT:
A magnifying device for viewing toes and toenails includes a longitudinally extending main body portion securable to the lower leg with straps. The body portion curves at its distal end to extend over the ankle and a portion of the top of the foot. A head portion which houses a magnifying lens is attached to the distal end of the body portion via an attachment mechanism and extends over the top portion of the foot. The attachment mechanism allows head portion to be translationally extended and retracted from the distal end of the body portion in a plane substantially parallel to the distal end of the body portion and in a direction substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the foot extending from the heel to the toe. The magnifying lens is shaped to allow all of the toes of one foot to be viewed through the lens simultaneously. Alternatively, the body portion of the magnifying device rests on the bottom of the foot and is attached to the foot via straps. A malleable support which houses the magnifying lens extends upward from the body portion and over the top of the foot, such that all of the toes on the foot can be viewed simultaneously through the lens.
