A visual enhancement kit for use in combination with a nail clipper featuring a lens that may be dismounted and interchanged with any of a plurality of lenses of varying refractive qualities. The resulting field of view of the cutting edge of the clipper and the area adjacent thereto enhances the user's ability to see the work being done by the clipper. vice as claimed in claim 1 additionally comprising a means to vary the distance between said lens and cutting blades. The device may be attached to a conventional nail clipper already in use and features rotational positioning of the lens in relation to the user. The device may also be provided already attached to a nail clipper and optionally features the ability to vary the distance between the lens and the cutting edge of the clipper which is user adjustable. Using hinged connections the lens may be folded for storage in a storage compartment formed from components of the device. The device is further enhanced by an optional light source.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION Referring now to the drawing FIGS.
1-5, specifically FIG.
1 depicts a perspective view of a first embodiment of the disclosed device 10 showing the vision enhancing lens 12 in operational position wherein the user has a clear field of view from the top side 14 of the lens 12 through the lens 12 providing a view adjacent to the cutting blades 13 located at one end of both the upper blade member 25 and the lower blade member 27.
The lens 12 can be made from glass, or plastic however plastic would be the current best mode due to the better refractive qualities available in plastics such as those used in contact lenses and other synthetic material lenses.
In the field of view through the lens 12 the user can also easily see the area directly in front of the cutting blades 13 where the nail and finger would be located during use, as well as the gap 15 between the cutting blades 13 in which a nail would be placed for cutting by the cutting blades 13 in the conventional fashion of a nail clipper.
If the lens 12 has magnification optical qualitites, everything in the field of view of the user is magnified by the power of magnification of the lens 12.
The user thus has a better view of the finger, the fingernail, and the target gap 15 into which the finger nail must be inserted.
Of course the lens 12 might also be optically configured to provide vision correction to users who desire the use the nail clipper device 10 who might be visually impaired or just want to take off their glasses during use of the device 10.
By providing a plurality of lenses 12, of differing vision correction or magnification strength, in a kit, which are mountable to lens mount 16, the device would provide additional utility to users in that they would have the option to substitute one of the plurality of lenses 12 to meet their current vision needs, or desire for magnification, for using the device.
Further utility is provided by the provision of a means to rotate the lens 12 as depicted in the current best mode by the optional swivel mount 17 which allows the lens 12 to rotate toward or away from the user's view when using the device, thus allowing for infinite adjustment of the viewing angle which the user may choose to look through the lens 12 to the field of view below
