Superior oblique is controlled by cranial nerve VI (Trochlear nerve). This muscle depresses the eye and moves it laterally. A person with damage to this cranial nerve will have difficulty looking down and to the side.

What are the six things attached to each eye that control and coordinate the movements of the eye?
You have superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique and inferior oblique eye ball muscles, which control the movements of eye.
Can you go blind from having Superior Oblique Myokymia?
No. It is an eye movement disorder. It is thought to be caused by a blood vessel being too close to the trochlear nerve that controls the Superior Oblique muscle of the eye. The blood vessel aggrevates the nerve, making the muscle contract, which moves the eye. There is no interaction with the structures within the eye that enable you to see. I have SOM and while it's pretty annoying, with the vision in one eye jumping around so much, I don't have any worries about it. If you're worried or feel you need more information about SOM, go see your opthamologist.
What muscle turns the eye inferior and medially?
The superior oblique muscle turns the eye inferiorly and medially. It is innervated by the trochlear nerve.
What cranial nerve is responsible for moving the eye laterally?
There are three cranial nerves that innervates muscle to move the eye. The main cranial nerve that controls eye movement is occulomotor nerve (CN III). It is responsible for inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique. Lateral rectus muscle is innervated by abducens nerve (CN VI). Superior oblique muscle is innervated by trochlear nerve (CN III).
Which part of the eye helps it to move?
The eye is controlled in its movements by the 6 extra-ocular muscles. There are 4 rectus muscles and 2 oblique muscles. A summary of their actions are listed below:Superior rectus- helps eye to elevate, adduct and intortInferior rectus- helps eye to depress, adduct and extortMedial rectus- helps eye to adductLateral rectus- helps eye to abductSuperior oblique- helps eye to depress, abduct and intortInferior oblique- helps eye to elevate, abduct and extort.
Why does superior oblique tendon pass through the trochlea?
The superior oblique tendon passes through the trochlea of the eye. This tendon, via a pulley system allows eye movement downward and inward.
What is the Trochlea of the superior oblique muscle of the eye?
The Trochlea Nerve (cranial nerve 4) controls the superior oblique muscle of the eye. It turns the eye laterally and downwards.
What are the extrinsic eye muscles?
Superior Rectus Medial Rectus InferiorRectus Superior Oblique Inferior Oblique Lateral Rectus
What is Superior oblique myokymia?
Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is a neurologic disorder that affects vision. It is a problem concerning the fourth cranial nerve and its relationship to the superior oblique muscle. Superior oblique myokymia is a condition that presents as repeated, brief episodes of movement, shimmering or shaking of the vision of one eye, a feeling of the eye trembling, or vertical/tilted double vision. It can present as one or more of these symptoms. Diagnosis is most often made by the elimination of other conditions, disorders or diseases.
Which muscle type allows you to direct your eyeballs?

What are the six things attached to each eye that control and coordinate the movements of the eye?
You have superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, superior oblique and inferior oblique eye ball muscles, which control the movements of eye.
What eye muscle control the movement of the eye?
A total of six muscle move each eyeball, 4 rectus muscels and 2 obliques. The superior, inferior, lateral and medial rectal muscle all pull the eye to be looking more in ther own direction. The superior oblique pulls the eye to look down and laterally and the inferior oblique pull the eye to look um and medialy.
How many muscles in one eye?
Orbital muscles of the eye include: Superior Oblique Inferior Oblique Superior rectus inferior rectus lateral rectus medial rectus Levator Palpebrae superioris (controls eyelid) So 17 muscles control the movement of the eyeball.
Name Four muscles of the eye?
You can choose four of the six: Superior rectus, Inferior rectus, Medical rectus, Lateral rectus, Superior Oblique and Inferior Oblique.
What Muscle rolls the eyeball downward?
Trick question! Inferior Rectus and Superior Oblique. You sneaky person you :)
