Abstract
A pill bottle magnifier device includes a jar which can insertably receive a pill bottle. The jar is comprised of a translucent material such that the pill bottle is visible in the jar. Additionally, the translucent material is structured into a convex shape to magnify the label on the pill bottle such that a user can read the label. A base is provided and the jar is coupled to the base and the base rests on a support surface. A lid is positionable upon the jar to contain the pill bottle in the jar. A plurality of lights is each coupled to the lid to emit light outwardly from the jar. Each light of the plurality of lights is directed into the jar when the lid is positioned on the jar to illuminate the label on the jar when the plurality of lights is turned on.
