Mirrors and lenses both reflect light. The only difference is that a lens creates a real image on the opposite side of the object whereas a mirror creates a real image on the same side as the object.

Mirrors and lenses are both optical devices that manipulate the path of light. Mirrors reflect light by bouncing it off their surface, while lenses refract light by bending it as it passes through. Both can be used to form images and magnify objects.
