Optic nerve is the nerve which carries signal from Retina to brain.This is second cranial nerve.(First being Olfactory coming from nose.)It enters the brain through For-amen called Optic For-amen.Actually this nerve is extension of the brain tissue inside the eye.You have two parts of visual fields in retina. Temporal or outer and Nasal or medial. After optic nerve enters the brain,temporal fibers go on to the same side of Visual area situated at Occipital lobe.The fibers coming from Nasal side cross to apposite side of brain. This crossing is done at optic chiasma.
there are other three nerves supply to outer eye muscles. The third cranial nerve called as Oculomotor supply to 4 eye muscles.The muscles are superior rectos, inferior rectos,medial rectos and inferior oblique.Forth cranial nerve called as Trochlear nerve supply to superior oblique muscle.Sixth cranial Abducent nerve supply to lateral rectos muscle.
