Does lens distortion affect real life?

[VirginByChoice1]

I have an overly compact face
And I’ve noticed when I look in the mirror <1m away or when I look at my phone screen (when it’s off so just the reflection) my face looks narrower and therefore better

I know since our eyes map a 3d image to 2d, it has lens distortion, but would it be significant enough at those distances to make a difference.
If not how would you explain me looking better at lesser distances to a reflection

I did hear once that the human eye has a lens distortion equivalent to a 50mm focal length cameras

But would that be enough to cause a difference at up to a meter away
