I don't have or use a mirror, but everything I've read says that mirrors close to your eye provide the widest range of vision. Plus, they move with your head. How effective is one less than an inch in diameter a couple feet away from your eye?
Just asking . . .

I've seen those at my LBS. Unfortunately it was not an option as I have a bar end shifter on that side![]()
I've seen larger mirrors that attach there as well.

Nope, but I've seen them online before. I'm not sure how well these would serve their purpose, being so far away from the eye, coupled with road vibration.
I have red led lights in my bar ends and use a third eye sunglass mirror.
I've got a mirror like that (not sure if it's the exact same one) and like it quite a lot. It gives a pretty good viewing area.
The first mirror I tried was one on my glasses frame. I found the viewing area to be so small that I never knew exactly what I was seeing. I ended up spending too much time trying to figure out the mirror view and not enough time looking forward. The bar end mirror has worked out much better.
Edited to add: vibration has not been a problem and it holds its adjustment well, except when I bump it on my leg or top tube at rest stops.
Edited again: unfortunately, when I have my aerobars clipped on, the aerobar pad blocks my view of the mirror. I have not yet figured out a solution for this.

My local bike shop has these...I'm thinking of picking one up. I (foolishly) mail-ordered one of the types that clip onto glasses awhile back, but it doesn't fit my lightweight frame without flopping around. This seems like it would be more stable. Not very big...but I guess none of 'em are.
