It's the spot where the optical nerver goes into the back of the eye. There are no receptors in this place.

Every eye has a blind spot where the nose is blocking the view. If you close one eye you can tell that on the other side of your nose you cannot see what is there until you open your other eye.

How do you think the blind spot affects your vision?

What causes your blind spot?

At the small spot in each eye where the optic nerve exits the eye, they are no light receptors and therefore no vision. The blind spots are to the outer sides of the field of vision and therefore less critical than if they were close to the center. Also, the blind spot in each eye is compensated for by the other eye for those who have two intact eyes.


What is the structure also known as the blind spot?

The blind spot is the part of the eye where the optic nerve leaves the eye. There are no light receptors so that is why it is called the blind spot.The spot is called the optic disc, or optic nerve head. Whatever part of your field of vision that falls upon this small spot will not be transmitted to the brain as part of the image. Fortunately for us, where two healthy eyes are functioning, the blind spot of each eye is compensated for by the other eye. There are quick and easy demonstrations of the blind spot that can be very dramatic for first-timers. What you 'perceive' at the blind spot is what the brain literally fills in. The spot seems to take on the general texture and color of whatever is around it. There is no perception of a 'black spot', or an empty space, since these would have to be detected visually.
