The invention comprises a hands-free, adjustable telescoping magnifying mirror. The mirror may have a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface and can be secured to a horizontal or vertical surface using a suction cup base or can be hung over a door or ledge using a retractable hanger bracket. A telescoping rod is attached to the suction cup base. The mirror may be extended from the base by extending the telescoping rod and the mirror assembly can stand freely without falling over, whether the suction cup base is engaged or not. Additionally, one or more light sources may be disposed at a periphery of the first reflective surface or second reflective surface.

An improved mount for, and method of mounting, an optical structure comprising at least two mirror panels secured in reflective relation to each other between upper and lower support members of the optical structure, is provided. The mount has a bracket element, comprising top and bottom panels secured along a back panel. There are at least six mounting pads, at least three attach portions of an outside surface of the upper support member of the optical structure to portions of an inside surface of the top panel of the bracket, and at least three attach portions of an outside surface of the lower support member of the optical structure to portions of an inside surface of the bottom panel of the bracket. The middle of the set of three top and bottom mounting pads are formed from polymeric material having a first Durometer value, and the two outer of the set of three top and bottom mounting pads are formed from polymeric material having a second Durometer value.

An adjustable optical mount is disclosed. The adjustable optical mount can include a base. The adjustable optical mount can also include a rotatable frame rotatably coupled to the base about an axis. The rotatable frame can be operable to support an optical element. Additionally, the adjustable optical mount can include a ramp operably coupled to the rotatable frame such that translational movement of the ramp relative to the rotatable frame causes rotation of the rotatable frame about the axis to facilitate adjustment of the optical element in a rotational degree of freedom.
