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.

Function of abducens nerve?

The abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI) controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which is responsible for abducting (moving the eye away from the nose) the eye. Dysfunction of the abducens nerve can result in horizontal double vision (diplopia) and difficulty moving the affected eye laterally.
