The image on the retina is reversed upside down and backward because of bending of light rays.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When light waves enter the eye, they are refracted by the cornea and lens, resulting in an inverted image being projected onto the retina at the back of the eye. This is due to the way that the lens of the eye bends and focuses light waves. The brain then interprets this inverted image and transforms it into a correct, upright interpretation of the world around us.
