Summary: Can be used on the right side
Comment: I live in Japan, thus must wear it on the right side. The mirror is not designed to go on the right side, but will work as it is highly adjustable. I also purchased a helmet mounted mirror which produced much more vibration. The Bike Peddler mirror is much more stable, and easier to adjust for proper viewing. I have very thin frames and this mirror held just fine. Neither mirror works well with a backpack, unless the backpack is small and you ride in an upright position. I would recommend this mirror to anyone.

Summary: great third eye...
Comment: I bought this mirror to replace one that broke from another company. Works very well for it's design and sturdy. Holds the position you set and stays there while your riding. Highly recommend this for any serious rider on the streets.

Summary: Take A Look Cyclist Eyeglass Mirror
Comment: I recently started riding a bike for exercise. After several days I was increasingly uncomfortable with my inability to see what was behind me. It's hard to turn my head around while trying to remain stable and keep an eye on the road ahead. I bought a clip-on eyeglass mirror from the bike shop where I'd bought the bike. It has a round mirror and a rather thick plastic stem to clip onto my eyeglasses. It worked OK, but was hard to clip onto the glasses and got out of adjustment easily. I did an Internet search for eyeglass mirrors and came across the Take A Look mirror. The many reviews praised it highly. After using it for several weeks, I agree completely. Its brass construction is stiffer and thinner, making it easy to clip onto eyeglasses, and the adjustments, while easy to make, remain stable. Also, the field of view is greater with the rectangular mirror. I'm keeping the plastic mirror as a backup, but if anything happens to the Take A Look mirror, I'm reordering as fast as possible.

Summary: Get a handlebar mirror for half the price.
Comment: For years, I've used a wide side mirror attached to my left handlebar with velcro - $6 at Walmart. Works great and a rear-view mirror is essential to bike safety.
But having sometimes seen spandex wrapped bikers whiz by me with eyeglass clip-on mirrors I thought it looked like a good concept. Having tried it on about 20 rides it's now in a drawer. It doesn't compare in view or convenience to the handlebar mounted mirror.
I found it difficult to focus on the postage stamp size piece of plexiglass mirror. And, our eyes being linked together, both must focus and look in what I find to be an unnatural position (left and up a bit), which distracts from the course ahead. And you have to get it out far enough to see around your helmet (according to the instructions it can be mounted on the helmet, but no hardware for such an installation is included).
If you use your dark glasses for anything other than biking you're stuck taking the mirror off and on, which isn't easy and requires adjustment each time. Meanwhile, I adjust my handlebar mirror instantly with my thumb and index finger as needed.
Maybe some people do "adapt" to quickly adjusting and looking through this tiny clip-on mirror. But there was no adapting period for my regular mirror. It just worked, it was cheap and it's always easy to use. As for the clip-on I quickly found myself asking "What's the point?"
