  Nor does anything since all light is distorted before getting to your eyes, be it reflection or refraction.  You have never, and will never, see something that is 100% accurate to the original.  Even air distorts light that passes through it.

  Oh you wish that were true but everything can be cut of/out and shown to your eyeballs. >
  
  except the both of your eyeballs >
  
  Well pull one out and point it at the other. >
  
  but that’s your eye not your eyeballs >
  
  Then what r your eyeballs if not your eyes? >
  
  yh but eyeball is for when it’s out of the socket right? (im not english so sorry if im mistaken) >
  
  I think eyeballs can leave the socket and still be attached to the optic nerve in some cases, so it's technically possible. >
  
  Definetly possible and not so uncommon in medicine.
  For example it happens in some industries that people get metal splinters into their eyes and they can wander to the backside of the eyeball. In the hospital they then scoop out your eyeball and remove the splinter before putting it back in >

  I’d argue that things that are reflected are still “seen”.
  Everything you see day to day is refracted to some extent, and we still consider that we can see things properly.
  I don’t see why reflection should be treated differently. >
  
  Obviously reflections show the thing being reflected, but I think what OP means is you can’t actually see it with your own eyes. Mirrors can be distorted, cameras can be inaccurate, etc. It doesn’t necessarily make a difference in this situation, but reflection’s definitely don’t always look 100% like the original
