what is the occipital lobe responsible for

The occipital lobe is responsible for visual perception, including color, form, and motion. It is the smallest and rear-most of the four lobes of the cerebral hemisphere. The primary function of the occipital lobe is to interpret information from the eyes and turn it into the world as a person sees it. It helps determine distance, depth, color, and other aspects of vision. The occipital lobe contains several structures and neuronal tracts that work together to enable vision, including the primary and association visual cortex.
