The ophthalmic nerve itself does not contain any autonomic fibres.

What is the function of the ophthalmic nerve?

The lacrimal branch itself provides sensory innervation to the lacrimal gland. The corneal reflex is the involuntary blinking of the eyelids – stimulated by tactile, thermal or painful stimulation of the cornea. In the corneal reflex, the ophthalmic nerve acts as the afferent limb – detecting the stimuli.
