Accompanied by the ophthalmic a!ery, the

optic nerve enters the bony skull through
the optic foramen and travels within the
optic canal to reach the middle cranial
fossa. Located in the middle cranial fossa is
the optic chiasm. The optic nerves of both
eyes meet at the optic chiasm and form the
optic tracts.
