Does a periscope work to refract light?

Periscopes work by reflecting light, not refracting it. Light enters the top of the periscope and is reflected through 90 degrees by either a plane mirror or a right angled prism (TIR) and travels down the tube where it is reflected again along the eyepiece to the eye.
