Eli5: the lens of your eye flips the image of what is happening in front of you and displays it on your retina, then your brain “flips” it again for you to perceive. What is the brain doing for that second flip?

It’s basically just the orientation of the nerves that connect the centre of the brain that receives the sight impulses to the part of the brain that puts it together as a comprehensible picture , those fibres travel upside down to flip it back

Edit,
Actually I mean it’s the nerves from the retina that go to the centre that receives that travels upside down I think

Either way you get the point
(Sorry, my neurology is rusty)
