When light is passed through the lens and cornea, it is focused to a portion in the back of your eye. This light, not looking at it as a picture but a beam of light, is then shone on to a patch of photoreceptors that make up the retina. This is the most important part of the eye because this retina is responsible for changing the physical energy, light, into electrical energy, neural impulses. So when this light hits the retina the photoreceptors, like the rods and cones that produce color and shape, they take that energy and transduction it into electrical energy. This energy is them passed through the back of the eyes by the neural cords that attach to the eyes and sent to the brain. Once the eyes send that energy and it reaches the brain, it is sent to the visual association area of the brain, either in the pre-frontal cortex or another area around there (A little unsure). From there this association area takes those neural impulses that the retina created and pieces together pictures. Then from the information that was given to this area it can associated those neural impulses as certain objects or colors and you then can perceive the picture you are seeing.

Additional answer
Upside down, actually. 'Backwards' makes it sound is if it's a mirror image, which it isn't.

∙ 7y agoThe cornea and the lens focus the light on the retina - but the "image" you see is formed in the brain from just parts of the light image that exists in the eye.

What are functions of microscopes?
Microscopes are instruments that uses lens to produce magnified images of objects too small to be seen by the eye.
What kind of images does a single negative lens produce?
It produces only a virtual image in front of the lens.
Why is the hubble space telescopes considered the eye in the sky?
The atmosphere of earth tends to distort images from space. Since Hubble operates outside earths atmosphere, the images it can produce are much more clear.
What is an eye?
An eye is an organ that senses images and light.
What types of images do mirrors produce?
virtual images
What type of images do plane mirrors produce?
virtual images
Does a light microscope produce three dimensional images?
There are certain ones that can produce 3d pictures. These are Stereo microscopes and are identified by having 2 eyepieces: one for each eye. Some stereo microscopes have been adapted by having a digital camera attached either directly or by fibre-optic cable for taking digital images or showing them on a screen.This is particularly useful in eye operations by surgeons.
What do sonograms use to record images?
they use soundwaves to produce the images.
What is The Eye rated?
Eye (2000) is rated R for violent images.
Where in the human eye are images mirrored?
Images being projected onto the human eye are first flipped upon refraction of the lens and then projected onto the retina. The images is then sent via through the optic nerve (Cranial Nerve II) to the optic chiasma. This is where the images are then "crossed" so that the brain processes the appropriate information for each eye's visual field (so the eye corresponds images in left eye with the left side of the body).
What forms the images for a light microscope?
Your eye
In the human eye images are formed on the?
Retina
