Why the eye interprets the image as erect when the image produced is real and inverted?

Metaphorically the eye interprets the image, but more precisely it is the brain which interprets the image, and the brain learns to do so in a functional manner. An inverted image would make it harder to understand what you are seeing, so the brain rotates it to be erect.

The interpretation of the image as erect by the eye is due to the brain's ability to process visual information. The brain has learned to associate specific visual cues with upright objects, allowing it to perceive the image as erect even if the image produced on the retina is inverted. This is known as visual perception and is a result of the brain's processing and interpretation of visual stimuli.

If images focused on the retina are inverted how do you see the worl in its proper perspective?
You see objects because they reflect light rays. As light travels to your eyes, the lens focuses the image of the object on the retina. The image of the object in the retina is inverted. As the image is formed, the optic nerves send the message to the brain. It is the brain that interprets and corrects the inverted image into an upright position. - Science Links by Sugpatan, Parde and Apolinario
How and when is the image inverted?
Whenever a real image is formed by a real object,the image is always inverted. for eg when light rays from infinity falls on convex lens it forms a real and inverted image at focal plane.
How come when you look through 2 magnifying glasses everything is upside down?
When we are looking through a magnifying glass from a position far away from the focus , a real image is formed which is inverted.This inverted image cannot be obtained on the screen.Hence we see the image upside down. However if we look through the magnifying glass at a position between the optical centre and focus a virtual,erect and magnified image will be formed.This can be obtained on the screen.
Why does it not matter that the image produced by a telescope inverted?
One of the most surprising discoveries first-time telescope owners will find is that images may appear upside-down or backwards depending on the type of telescope. The first thought is the telescope is broken - when in fact it is working perfectly normal. Depending on the type of telescope images may appear correct, upside-down, rotated, or inverted from left to right. Why is this? Why would I want to see everything incorrectly? For astronomical viewing, it is not important whether an object is shown correctly. In space there is no up or down. Besides, Saturn is not something you see everyday and you would not know if it was upside-down or not. A Tree, Building, Person or an Automobile for example would be important to see correctly. When you view an automobile upside-down, you recognize that this is not correct. Lets talk about the different types of telescopes and how the orientation of the image is observed through them and what you can do to correct it for land use. Refractor and Cassegrain telescopes will produce an image that is upside down when used without a diagonal. When a diagonal is used the image will be corrected right side up, but backwards from left to right. It will look like trying to read a sign in a mirror. There are special diagonals called Erect Image Prism diagonals that can correct the backwards image for land use. Newtonian Reflectors will produce an image that is upside down and are not recommended for land use. There are no ways to correct this with a Newtonian Reflector.
Why is the position inverted when you look through a microscope?
To keep the answer very simple, the specimen being viewed is inverted when light passes through the objective lens (carrying the image) , which is usually convex in nature. So if you view something which is already "inverted" it would get corrected, i.e appear right. (The bending of light is called a refraction, which causes the image to bend along with it.)
What is the difference between the image formed on the retina and the object being looked at other than the size?
The image formed at the retina is always real and inverted but the brain interprets it as erect. the object you see will not be inverted.
What is difference between erect and inverted image?
If the image is upside up view of the given object than it is called Inverted Image. If it remains as the object than it is called Erect Image
What do we mean by the image is erect?
An image is erect if it is the same way up as the object. If they are upside down when compared to each other, the image is said to be "inverted".
How can you identify the three types of mirrors without touching?
In the plane mirror, our image will be seen as same size of us and erect. In case of concave mirror, our image will be inverted. This is because concave mirror forms real, inverted image when object is placed behind the focus of the mirror. In case of convex mirror, the size of the image will be diminished, or smaller than us and the image will be erect too. This is because the image formed is virtual and erect.
True or false virtual images are always inverted?
Just draw a couple of ray diagrams through a positive lens and you will see that a real image has to end up inverted, just like the image in your eye, which your brain then sorts out to a right-way-up image.
Choose the correct answer An erect object placed outside the focal poit of a converging lens will produce an image that is?
Inverted
Why image on spoon one side is inverted and other side is erect?
because one side is concave and the other is convex
State four characteristics of the image formed in a plane mirror?
1.Image distance= object distance 2.Size of the image = size of the object 3.image is laterally inverted 4.Image is always virtual & erect
What type of image is produced by a converging lens on the screen?
a virtual and erect image is always formed by a covering lence

How will you determine the nature without touching the mirror?
If you look into a concave mirror you will get an inverted image of your face. If you look into a convex mirror you will get an erect image of your face. (Taking suitable distance accordingly)
How do convex and concave lenses affect the attitude and appearance of an image?
Convex lens is a converging lens It makes the image real and inverted whereas concave lens is a diverging lens it makes the image virtual and erect.
