I think maybe your expectations are too much. I certainly do not have my eye glued on my mirror all of the time, if that is what you mean. I doubt you could see my eye in my mirror though it is set up properly - it is only a little bigger than my eye. if I am warned a cyclist is passing, I take a quick glance in the mirror and make sure I am steady on the right. I don't look back after that momentary glance.
It is really irksome when a fellow cyclist passes closely with no warning.
