Many of these cheap mirrors aren't clear mirrors but plastic reflective surfaces which makes it difficult to discern what is coming up. Some like Hanfy are glass or polished steel, which isn't as high resolution as glass but works ok in the night for lights, but you just have to remember to turn your head to make sure! haha

I've used this Blackburn road mirror for over 10yrs.

It fits over hood and secures w/velcro strap. I don't notice the extra layer when cycling. It stays firmly in place and uses a glass mirror so I can spot vehicles 1/2mi away in good conditions.
I did try to get a eyeglass mount (take-a-look) to work for me several times, but always with some personal problem. I find the bar mirror works better for me as I don't need to twist my head around to scan behind me and can just glance in mirror without changing position.
