with one eye closed, how does both sides of the brain receive visual information of what you’re seeing?

I know at a high level that the two hemispheres are connected and exchange information. But what internal mechanism of of the brain achieves this?

L&R Optic nerves meet at the optic chiasm. At this point some of the nerve fibers from each eye (or nerve more accurately) cross over (some continue on w/o crossing) and supply both sides of the brain.
