 Not for everyoneMar 17, 2009
By M. Ossa
They are great but you have to consider that:
1-They are not suitable for prescription glasses since your vision through the mirror will not be corrected by the glasses.
2-You need to be patient adjusting the mirror the very first time, specially when used in curved glasses (the flattest the glasses the easyer to adjust the mirror)
3-Likely you will be desapointed during the first days, however I bet you will love it once you get used to it.

 Very nice, with caveatsMar 02, 2010
By LaFong
This will reiterate some of the positives and negatives with this mirror.
Pros:
* Not having anything poking off your handlebars, or helmet, or eyeglass frames
* Does not get wet in the rain. Even if you can barely see forward through your rain-soaked glasses, the mirror view is crystal clear.
* Consistency. Once positioned, the mirror does not need adjustment, so long as you're careful when cleaning. External mirrors usually get bumped out of alignment.
* Fred factor. Let's face it, most mirrors look a little goofy.
Cons:
* Initial placement. The mirror should be positioned right at the corner of your eye, not as pictured in the instructions. Possibly, you could put a dot on the magic spot on the outside of the lens to save time in future placements.
* Glasses compatibility. I imagine some glasses wrap around so much it would be difficult to get it to work, esp. for people with close-set eyes.
* Cleaning. You have to be careful cleaning the inside of the lens, so as not to displace the mirror.
* Claustrophobia. The mirror is so close to your eye, your eyelash may brush it. Mine does, but I don't mind.
* Changing glasses or lenses. Since it's a hassle to position the mirror, most will opt to get one of these mirrors for each lens or pair of glasses. Moving the mirror between lenses very much would use up the provided tape adhesive. Do yourself a favor and use one pair of photochromic, skip multiple lenses. Rudy Project photochromic are very nice.
* Specific adhesive. The mirror comes with double-sided sticky tape, which provides a relatively weak bond. Different tape might adhere more strongly, but also might damage your lens. Depending on how much positioning you do, you might eventually run out of the tape.
* Field of view. The Take-a-Look and other glasses or helmet mirrors show more. A bit of head turning easily gets around the problem for me.
I anticipated that having a big dot in my field of view might be annoying, but it's really not. It's so close to the eye, it's just a blur. And whatever part of the view it blocks is easily revealed by an unconscious slight head turn.
Overall, my favorite mirror, despite the drawbacks, and I've tried several. I also tried the 3rd Eye version of this mirror. I like this one better because it has slightly more mirror area, so works with more glasses and has a larger field of view.

great mirrorJul 27, 2008
By Everyday Commuter
I've had this mirror for a year now. And its held up great. I ride year around, rain, shine and snow. I like the myriad of adjustments you can do. And the fact that you can quickly remove it if you have to and then snap it back on. Highly recommended

CYCLEAWARE VIEWPOINT MIRRORJun 01, 2008
By SANDKEYFRED

UPON RECEIVING THE MIRROR MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THAT THIS TINY MIRROR WOULD DO WHAT THE COMPANY CLAIMED. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. AFTER EXPERIMENTING FOR A WHILE I FOUND THAT THE BEST WAY TO MOUNT THIS MIRROR TO MY SUNGLASSES WAS TO MOUNT THE HIGH SIDE OF THE MOUNTING BASE FACING RIGHT & TURNED SLIGHTLY COUNTER CLOCKWISE SO THAT THE HIGH SIDE IS FACING IN ABOUT THE 2 O'CLOCK POSITION. I MOUNTED IT ABOUT 1/2 WAY UP ON THE LEFT LENS & ABOUT 1/8" FROM THE EDGE OF THE SUNGLASS FRAME. THIS ENABLES ME TO CLEARLY SEE ANY TRAFFIC TO MY LEFT. IT'S A BIT TRICKY DEALING WITH THE SMALL STICKY PADS THAT COME WITH THE MIRROR. BY THE TIME THAT I FINALLY GOT IT POSITIONED EXACTLY WHERE I WANTED THE STICKY PAD WAS HARDLY HOLDING THE MIRROR TO THE LENS BECAUSE OF MY HANDLING IT. THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE LEAVING IT ATTACHED WITH THE FIRST PAD. IF THIS MIRROR FALLS OFF WHILE YOU ARE RIDING, IT WOULD BE LIKE FINDING A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK. IT IS SOOO TINY. THEY DO GIVE YOU A SPARE BUT I FOUND THAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY OWN USING DOUBLE SIDED TAPE THAT WAS NOT TOO THICK & WITH A PAPER PUNCH I MADE AS MANY STICKY PADS AS I WANTED & THEY SEEM TO WORK JUST FINE. I FIND THAT IT IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Not badJul 23, 2010
By J. White
I mainly ride at night, and use these with a pair of clear lensed glasses. My wife rides with me, and behind me, and with these it is easy to tell if she is behind me or lagging behind.
To use, look left, and turn the head slightly. I can see everything from directly behind me, even the right side of the road. A quick glance can show me if head lights are coming up behind, and my wife's little headlight is easily seen.
The problem with these is the image is so small that it is impossible to tell how far back a car is. The second problem is that, when turning left, the lack of trust makes me turn my head to actually look at the coming car, but the placement of the mirror is directly in the line of sight! It blocks the view, so I have to turn even farther to see the traffic, which makes the bike hard to control. I'll even turn my head and body to the right to look behind me for a left hand turn.
All in all, the mirror gives an added level of awareness of what is going on behind the rider. Since I ride at night (3 am) there usually isn't a car coming and I don't have issues with the blindspot. I can't comment on these for daytime use. I have 20/10 vision (for reference).
