Yea,those and similar mirrors work great. I got an "eye mirror" from
american science and surplus for about 2 bucks. Front surface concave
mirror that lets you see every nasty thing in your eye or those things
growing on your nose you didn't know about. No shop should be without
one. Saved me many a time when something felt like it was in my eye but
couldn't be seen any other way.

This is a concave mirror that magnifies, has a focal distance of approx
2". Held this up to my eye in an area with decent ambient light, and
viola, it was a total piece of cake to gently swipe the chip out with a
Q-tip. This beats the hell out of leaning over the sink and trying to
shine a flashlight in the affected eye while trying to find and remove
the particle. Don't know if I'd want to try to pull an imbedded
particle, but for something just sitting on the eye, this makes it
really really easy. Everyone working with metal or wood ought to have
one of these handy.

And for the safety nannies, yes, I was wearing safety glasses...
