The nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. Also known as the second cranial nerve, it is a purely sensory nerve consisting of about 1.2 million nerve fibers. This is much less than the 130 million or so photoreceptor cells in the retina and indicates that quite a lot o...

The second cranial nerve, responsible for the special sensation of sight. This is not really a "nerve", but is actually a post-synaptic white-matter tract that connects the retinal ganglion cells to the occipital (visual) cortex, via the chiasm, lateral geniculate body, and the optic radiations.

Optic nerve: The optic nerve connects the eye to the brain. The optic nerve carries the impulses formed by the retina, the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye and senses light and creates impulses. These impulses are dispatched through the optic nerve to the brain, which interprets them as images. Using an ophthalmoscope, the head of the opt...

The optic nerve transmits nervous impulses from the rods and cones of the retina to the brain. The area of the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye is known as the blind spot. It contains no visual cells and is therefore insensitive to light. The fovea is the area of acutest vision.
