What parts of the brain are involved in the vision process?

I thought I knew, but not so sure anymore. If anyone can answer my question that'd be awesome.

Ummm well I know the optic nerve does the connecting between the two and I think the major part of the brain used for the vision process is the occipital lobe. I don't know it just seems like I'm missing more.

Gah.

Did you consider the visual cortex?

Does this help at all?
