Learning Center > Health Library > Optic Nerve. The optic nerve is located in the back of the eye. This structure is responsible for transferring the images we see from the retina to the brain. The front surface of the optic nerve, which is visible on the retina, is called the optic disc.
Overview. The optic nerve transmits the special sensory information for sight. It is one of two nerves that do not join with the brainstem (the other being the olfactory nerve, CN I). Embryologically, the optic nerve is developed from the optic vesicle, an outpocketing of the forebrain.
