The Fresnel lens may help reduce the risk of this type of collision. The lens is not a mirror but a clear, thin, flat plastic lens that is press fitted to a truck’s passenger door window glass. Its concentric ring surface allows the driver to see through it directly, but its optical properties provide a downwards view close to and around the truck’s passenger door. A Fresnel Lens therefore covers this mirror blind spot.
