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

    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?
