Optic chiasm
The optic chiasm is the point at which fibres in the optic tract partially decussate.
They do this as follows:
- fibres from the temporal retina - thus the nasal visual field - do not cross.
- fibres from the nasal retina - thus the temporal visual field - cross to the contralateral side.
