A rear view mirror for a vehicle is disclosed. The rear view mirror includes a continuous reflective surface of varying convexity. The continuous reflective surface is defined by a horizontal quadratic equation and a vertical quadratic equation. Using the two quadratic equations to define the curvature of the continuous reflective surface provides for a relatively flat portion in the middle of the minor that is surrounded by portions of higher convexities. The relatively flat portion assists the operator in depth perception while the surrounding portions of higher convexities further assists the operator in terms of reflecting expanded views and therefore better coverage of blind spots.
