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.
An abducent nerve is a nerve which controls the lateral rectus muscle in the eye.
The cranial nerve involved in raising the eyelids is the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III). For focusing the lens of the eye for accommodation, the oculomotor nerve controls the ciliary muscle.
The lacrimal nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (which is a branch of the trigeminal nerve), controls the tear glands. It provides sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland, which is responsible for producing tears in the eye.
The cranial nerves that have some function in vision include the optic nerve (II), which is responsible for carrying visual information from the eye to the brain, and the oculomotor nerve (III), which controls the movement of the eye muscles.

Eye
The Trochlea Nerve (cranial nerve 4) controls the superior oblique muscle of the eye. It turns the eye laterally and downwards.
the neuron that controls our eye movement and it ism important
The cranial nerve involved in raising the eyelids is the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III). For focusing the lens of the eye for accommodation, the oculomotor nerve controls the ciliary muscle.
Optic Nerve = Vision Oculomotor Nerve = Eye movement; pupil constriction Trochlear Nerve = Eye movement Trigeminal Nerve = Somatosensory information (touch, pain) from the face and head; muscles for chewing. Abducens Nerve = Eye Movement Vestibulocochlear Nerve = Hearing; balance Vagus Nerve = Sensory, motor and autonomic functions of viscera (glands, digestion, heart rate) Spinal Accessory Nerve = Controls muscles used in head movement. Hypoglossal Nerve = Controls muscles of tongue
Squinting or peering
If the light is shining directly into one eye, then the pupil in that eye will constrict (a direct response), but so will the pupil in the non-illuminated eye (a consensual response). This reflex involves two cranial nerves: the optic nerve, which senses the light, and the oculomotor nerve, which constricts both pupils.
The Orbicularis oculi muscle squints the eye.
The lacrimal nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (which is a branch of the trigeminal nerve), controls the tear glands. It provides sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland, which is responsible for producing tears in the eye.
