An image is formed by the refraction of light at a spherical interface between two media of indices of refraction n1 and n2. Image distance depends on the radius of curvature of the interface, location of the object, and the indices of refraction of the media.

For instance, when you look at a fish from above the water surface, the fish is in medium 1 (the water) with refractive index 1.33, and your eye is in medium 2 (the air) with refractive index 1.00, and the surface of the water is the interface.
