Blind spot of the eye contains?

The "blind spot" in all mammals is the tiny area on the retina (light-sensing surface inside the eye) where the optic nerve exits the eye, carrying the optical signals to the brain. It is "blind" because there are no photoreceptors on this tiny area of the retina. In humans, the blind spot in the right eye is about 20 degrees directly to the right of that eye's central vision. In the left eye it is about 20 degrees to the left of that eye's central vision. Thus, normally the opposite eye sees what is in the other eye's blind spot and the brain fills in the missing information. Here is a simple way to demonstrate the blind spot. (I apologize for the ... between the X and W, but formatting is limited here.) To demo the blind spot in your right eye, keep your left eye closed and look directly at the "X" with your right eye. Now move closer or farther from the screen. At about a foot from the screen the W will "disappear" in your peripheral vision (if you look toward the W, it will reappear). To repeat this for your left eye, close your right eye and stare at the "W" as you move closer or farther from the screen. Again, at about a foot away, the X will disappear.X .....................................................................................W

How many receptors does the blind spot have?

The "blind spot" is the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye. Think of it as a cable attached to the back of the eye, carrying all your visual information to the brain. As a result, there are no receptors at the "blind spot".
