This is a question Pointless Experiments

Pavlov's Frog writes: I once spent 20 minutes with my eyes closed to see what it was like being blind. I smashed my knee on the kitchen cupboard, and decided I'd be better off deaf as you can still watch television.

I haven't tried it yet but
I know this is pointless but I think it would be pretty cool.

The image that your eyes take in is upside down and your brain sorts it all out to make it the right way up.
Get some glasses with lenses that makes everything upside down and wear them constantly for a week or so.
Your brain will eventually correct the image so that everything is the right way up again.
This is all well and good if you intend to continue wearing the glasses but now take them off..........

I really want to try this, I think I would have to take a couple of weeks off work though.

Yes, it really does work
I saw it on the telly once. So it must be true!

Surprisingly......
My late father had a brain op that removed the filter in the brain that turns what you see "right side up". After 2 weeks he was having no problems moving about, playing chess and even writing with no issues.

So yes, it would work!

Part of my degree
Psychology - one part of neural processing of imformation we did just this. Your brain adapts remarkably quickly.
