Reflection helps in seeing an object because if you want to be discrete about what you are doing then you can look into a mirror or something and see something, as long as it is in the correct position.

But, if you meant otherwise like when in a submarine or boat and you want to see above the ship, then the eye piece that they look through uses mirrors to reflect what is above, clever really.

I hope this has helped you and if it hasn't please let me know and i will improve.
