I ordered this mirror as I need the 15x magnification to see up close when applying make-up, etc. The mirror is nice and easy to use the 1x side. However, the 15x magnification is distorted and doesn't provide the close up view that I needed it for. I previously used a much smaller 15x LED mirror, but it was hand held & not easy to use. I can see better up close with that small mirror than I can with this larger one. I will use it for what I can, as it's not returnable.
