Since Eye lens inverses the image of objects on retina , why I do not see people upside down?

An interesting question actually. Your brain acutally flips the image for you. There was a study done a few years ago, where subjects wore some sort of device that flipped their perspective. Some had their vision flipped horizontally, some vertically, and some both. Almost all the subjects adjusted to their new perspective, and reported seeing normally after less than a day of use. When the devices were removed, the subjects experienced flipped vision (even though they were just seeing normally again), but adjusted back after less than 24 hours.

Because the eye was developed to send the signal to the brain right side up. The image in the retina is inverted, but not the signal to the brain.

its true that in fact the image is formed inverted on the walls of your retina, however the brain interprets the nerve signals from the retina in an inverse fashion in order to straighten the percieved image.

you do not see people upside down because even though our eyes technically do see things upside down, a nerve in our eye that is connected to your brain processes what you are seeing, therefore it flips the image around! pretty cool =]

your optic nerve and brain takes care of the inversion
