Yes. I also wear eyeglasses. And lightweight full fingered gloves, summer and winter, with leather palm-side. My mirror rarely gets so wet that I can't see but my gloves act as a chamois if necessary. My eyeglasses will get spray on them in a heavy rain in traffic (helmet has a visor) so the gloves are a great thing to have on. If the mirror gets fogged up or something, a quick wipe with a gloved finger fixes that.

Also, before I had LASIK, I couldn't see well enough out of the side of my vision to see cars much behind me when I turned my head. I could see 20/20 with a mirror though.
