There are three cranial nerves that innervates muscle to move the eye. The main cranial nerve that controls eye movement is occulomotor nerve (CN III). It is responsible for inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique.
Lateral rectus muscle is innervated by abducens nerve (CN VI).
Superior oblique muscle is innervated by trochlear nerve (CN III).

What Cranial nerve is equilibrium and hearing?
The cranial nerve responsible for hearing and equilibrium is vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It originates from between the pons and medulla.
What eye movement is caused by the superior oblique?
Superior oblique is controlled by cranial nerve VI (Trochlear nerve). This muscle depresses the eye and moves it laterally. A person with damage to this cranial nerve will have difficulty looking down and to the side.
Which cranial nerve is responsible for regulating visceral activity?

The function of this cranial nerve may also be tested by asking the patient to turn their head to the left and right and by resisting this motion by placing your hand on their chin (the muscle tested in this second scenario is the Sternocleidomastoid, SCM).
