I assume you mean the concave mirror that ENT (ear, nose, throat) physicians wore,flipping it down over their dominant eye. Behind the patient was a special lamp, and its light was reflected by the mirror into the patient's ear, nose or throat. The ENT held his head very still, but moved that of the patient's around, something that took a bit of learning.

In more recent decades, good batteries and halogen bulbs have are incorporated into head illuminators, so that the concave mirrors have largely been replaced. These illuminators are now used extensively by doctors in many fields, especially those involved in micro-surgery.

Thinking back, it's amazing what Von Helmholz and others did with candlelight and early incandescent bulbs.
