Above is wrong, it is the lens that focuses an upside down image onto the retina. The neural wiring and the brain put it back to right-side up.

There is no part of the eye which forms the upside-down image. It is a matter of light entering the eye which makes it go upside-down.
Imagine an eye looking at a flower. The light bouncing off the flower goes into the eye (past the lens/iris) and in the middle of the eye (in the fluid area) the light from the object becomes flipped. The end result, an upside-down flower, then results on your retina.
This upside-down image is then passed along nerves to your optic centers of the brain (located in the back of the brain). The brain automatically unflips the image. The brain has to learn this skill, so newborns see the world upside-down when they first eye the world.

the lens forms the image
the retina reads the image and transmits it to your brain

The image forms on the retina.

The lens accepts the image, the retina receives it (inverted), the brain puts it the right way around

The Retina

the image is formed at retina but it is inverted by the brain so we
see every thing normally
