Brad Sawyer, a disabled Vietnam War veteran, invented the MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Safety Mirror to address his own driving challenges. Suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, which severely restricts his neck movement, Sawyer needed a solution to improve his peripheral vision while driving. His patented mirror provides a 260-degree field of view without requiring head movement, significantly enhancing safety and reducing stress for drivers with various impairments.
The MultiFlex mirror allows drivers to see approaching vehicles from both sides by angling the left and right hinges. Sawyer explains that with the mirror properly adjusted, he no longer needs assistance to check for oncoming traffic, making turns safer and easier. The mirror has proven beneficial for individuals with a range of conditions, including those with limited mobility, vision loss, arthritis, and back pain.
One user, a mother who lost an eye to cancer as a child, attests to the mirror’s life-changing impact. She reports increased peripheral vision, particularly on the left side, eliminating concerns about blind spots at dangerous intersections. The MultiFlex mirror empowers drivers to overcome limitations and maintain independence.
The MultiFlex Adjust-A-View Safety Mirror (U.S. Patent No. 6926416) attaches easily to the driver-side sun visor. Its dimensions are 12 3/4 inches wide by 3 3/4 inches high, with each of the left and right mirrors measuring 5 1/2 inches wide by 3 inches high. This tool provides drivers with a clear, distortion-free view of blind spots and even the vehicle’s rear seating area, promoting safer driving for everyone.
