"So many things are clearer in retrospect ... also if you clean your glasses!"

If you want retrospective glasses, you have to superglue tiny little rear-view mirrors to them.

How long have you worn glasses, Bob? Those of us who have been in them before the age of 10 have learned how to use them for rearview mirrors.

If you want retrospective glasses, you have to superglue tiny little rear-view mirrors to them.

About 11-12 years ago somebody started selling tiny mirrors mounted on a angled plastic substrate with adhesive under it for attaching to glasses. Main target were (bi)cyclists, secondary corrections guards.

They seemed like they'd work pretty well -- I bought a pair (as a cyclist I was always concerned about vehicles behind me) -- but quit riding very soon after. I've thought about a pair on my regular glasses (now that I have same) but it would be a bit too obvious with the "frames" I use.

Superglue is a bad idea too. You have to get it perfect the first time. A less aggressive adhesive, one that lets you try and adjust a few times, is better.
