Cranial nerve pair that passes through the optic foramina?

The cranial nerve pair that passes through the optic foramina is the optic nerves, also known as cranial nerve II. These nerves transmit visual information from the retina of the eye to the brain. The optic foramina are openings in the sphenoid bone that allow the optic nerves to enter the cranial cavity, where they partially cross at the optic chiasm.
