To focus an image of the external world on the retina and then send that information ot the occipital lobes of the brain so that if can be interpreted as vision.
The origin is the distal attachment of a muscle

As you touch the area of your temple region about as high as your ear straight forward towards the nose you can feel the muscle there which can be found easily by clenching your jaw repetitively, go to the top of the muscle towards the peak of your head about two inches above the edge of the muscle and that is the supperiorlateral part of the cranium. Often injuried in a head trauma. Hope that helps.
