Damage to the superior colliculus can impair vision, particularly in regard to visual reflexes such as eye movements and fixation. The superior colliculus is involved in processing visual information related to movement and guiding eye movements, among other functions. Damage to this area can cause deficits in these processes, leading to impaired vision.

B, C, and D are incorrect:
B) Ablation of the medial geniculate nucleus can impair auditory processing, but would not directly affect vision. 
C) Damage to the temporal lobe can cause deficits in auditory and/or visual processing, but the specific effects would depend on the location and extent of the damage. 
D) Damage to the vestibulocochlear nerve can impair hearing, but would not directly affect vision.
