CN II, or the optic nerve, is responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain for interpretation. Dysfunction of this nerve can result in visual deficits, including the inability to recognize visual stimuli. CN III, IV, and VI are all involved in eye movement and control, but not specifically in the transmission of visual information.
