Oh, that's cool, I had never seen glasses with rear view mirror before. Do you still need to look over your shoulder?
Not really, it’s better to check according to situations as the rear view mirror is small and you need to move your head a little to "scan" the area, as well as looking in the bottom left corner of the glasses which is not natural at first.
It is not as instant as a real and bigger rear view mirror so you might still want to look over your shoulder when not sure or in a rush.
But on a long straight line with plenty of time it works great. I’m still not 100% used to it tho as I had a bike accident shortly after buying them that took me off bike for 2 months (unrelated accident, I just got stuck on the tramway rails because I’m too used to city cycling and so, too confident…)
