Crossing over occurs at its namesake chiasma, and it primarily consists of myelinated axons of ganglion cells with origin in the retina.
The site of the mitochondrially inherited disease called Leber's neuropathy, fibers from it project to the pretectum and superior colliculus, and are important for saccadic movements and a certain reflex mediated by the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. However, most fibers from this nerve project to the magnocellular and parvocellular layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus, which integrate such information as spatial and temporal resolution, but more importantly luminance and color contrast.

FTP, name this cranial nerve that transmits visual signals from the eye.
