I will try "tilting" the mirror towards myself as suggested.

I had trouble initially because I wear reading glasses normally to see close up, but found if you don't really try to focus but rather look at the overall picture, it is ok. Does help with the blind spots.

I have the same problem, I wear reading glasses, I noticed it you adjust the camera to the close up view your view is much better. You still have a wide view.

Ok - ophthalmologist here- first no depth perception in mirror or camera view as that is a flat image (whether projected or reflected) in either case and binocularity not an issue. the bigger issue is user age- The camera represents a image at a closer distance that is a fixed point of focus- The mirror is a reflected image that has the distance focal point. So with a camera image if youre over 40 years old it will be progressively difficult to see without using near assistance (multifocal contact, progressive or bifocal/trifocal glasses). the mirror image is easily viewed with distance glasses. The further you are away from 40 the more difficult the camera is to see unassisted.
In regards to cataract surgery - there are implants that correct astigmatism as well as multifocality These options should be discussed with your surgeon pre operatively as many patients are selecting spectacle independence - though it is expensive
