Is the law of refraction the same for light rays going in either direction between the two media?

Yes. The laws of refraction are laws of physics and as such remain constant, as long as the space between the media is constant.

Why do objects look distorted under water?
A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air. This is called "Refraction".A ray of light will change direction when going out of water, into the air.

Why do light rays pass through a lens change direction?
If a wave of light is reflected by an opaque material, it changes direction. If it refracts (like light going from air into water), it can change direction. Also, gravity can bend light. For example, a black hole can trap light.
Why does no refraction occur when the media have the same index of refraction?
Reflection happens only at the interface between two media, and two media with the same index of refraction act as if they were a single medium. Thus, at the interface between media with the same index of refraction, there is no reflection, and the ray keeps going straight. Continuing this line of thought, it is not surprising that we observe very little reflection at an interface between media with similar indices of refraction.
What are 3 examples with explanation of refraction?

Are contacts reflection or refraction?
Light is bent going through contact lenses, so they are refraction.
Is the law of refraction the same for light rays going in either direction between two media?
Yes. The mathematical law involving the indicies of refraction n1 & n2 and the angles A1 & A2 as; n1 Sin(A1) = n2 Sin(A2) will work regardless of which way the light is traveling. Just associate the variables n & A with the correct medium.

A virtual image caused by reflection of light in the atmosphere is called?
You're going for "mirage", but we're not comfortable with that description. It's not really the "image" that's caused by refraction. It's more the location or direction in which the image is seen that's caused by refraction.
