The correct flow of information in the visual system starts with the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the retina. The optic nerves from both eyes then meet and partially cross at the optic chiasm. After the chiasm, the visual pathways continue as optic tracts to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. From the LGN, visual information is sent to the primary visual cortex for processing.
