Step-by-step explanation:

The optic (I) nerve, oculomotor (III) nerve, trochlear (IV) nerve and abducen (VI) nerve are the four cranial nerves implicated in eyes perception and motion function. The optic nerve of vision is the sensory nerve. It conveys information to the brain from the eyes.

The corneal blink reflex are caused from a loop between the trigeminal sensory nerves and the facial motor (VII) nerve innervation of the orbicularis oculi muscles.
