Default Double Image on driver side mirror

Wondering if everyone has a clear reflection on their driver's side mirror. Ever since I got my car, I have noticed that the image looks as there is a superimposed image on it so the reflection is not sharp like you would expect from a mirror. It is extremely noticeable when driving at night where headlights are creating a double vision look.

Wondering if anyone else has noticed this on their mirrors, or maybe it's just me.

I think that's just the mirror's auto dimming feature. Does it look much darker as well?

Just a thought...Do you wear eyeglasses? I've had pairs that caused that effect at night due to the lens coatings used.
