What muscle roles your eye counter clockwise?

The primary muscle responsible for moving the eye counterclockwise is the superior oblique muscle, which is innervated by the trochlear nerve (cranial nerve IV). Additionally, the lateral rectus muscle, innervated by the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI), assists in this movement by pulling the eye outward. Together, these muscles coordinate to achieve the desired counterclockwise rotation of the eye.
