And we don't "see" that reflection directly either. Our brain does a bunch of processing and cleaning of that sensory input to put together the view of the world we actually perceive as our vision. Hence why there's no obvious blindspot and we don't perceive each eye independently. Making what we actually see the inside of our own mind.
