Zefal spy mirror. I don't have bar end shifters, so can't be certain that this will work, but I do have one of these mirrors and they're excellent. You won't have a problem attaching it, nor in seeing in it. The issue I can't be sure of is whether it would interfere with your ability to use the shifter.

I have one of these ⬆️ on my tourer, easy to flip on to the other side for riding in foreign parts.

This is designed for sti hoods but might be adaptable for the OP's needs. The original drop bar Mirrycle is also available for non aero hoods, though I managed to adapt one for an aero hood as it had enough meat at the top of the hood to drill and self tap a hole for it. Both worked well, didn't vibrate loose yet could move if bumped or be folded down without losing their friction. When I used to ride drop bar bikes I found them very good, as a mirror in that position was just in the right place for me.

Consider a Mirrycle Mountain Bike Mirror. It's a simple, durable mirror that clamps onto your handlebar near the grip, perfect for fitting on the curved section (the "horn") of your handlebars. It's out of the way of your bar-end shifters and works great.

I have this one, it works well and mine swivels on the drops so when stashing my bike on the train or garage or bike rack I can swivel it up n into the curve of the bar so it's not sticking out to get knocked or damaged. It works well IME.
