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".
The blind spot is the point on the retina where there are no receivers i.e. no cones or rods, and the reason there are no cones or rods is because this spot is where the opic nerve teminates in the retina. No receivers, no signal to the brain.
The brain compensates for the blind spot. It compensates for it by taking in what is around the blind spot and using that as a reference to put a picture in the brain of what it thinks should be in the blind spot.
That is the place on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye; there are no light receptors there. In your left eye it is left of the center of the field of vision, and in the right eye it is right of the center of the field of vision. So physically, they are both inside of center. It is fun to demonstrate the blind spots and it is easily done.
the blind spot does not effect your vision, sort of... you see, your brain uses all the information from the picture/its vision to fill in that blind spot, in other words what you think your seeing is really not true (in your blind spot) your brain is putting what it thinks should be there.
yes
The blind spot does not have or serve a function. The blind spot is cause by a lack of receptors in the location where a person's optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye.
It is the part that corresponds to the optic nerve "entrance"...as a result there are no light receptors in that area thus creating a blind spot
Your front vision is the best because around the center of the retina (except for the blind spot where the optic nerve enters) is where most of the vision receptors are. You don't have as many receptors on the areas corresponding to your peripheral vision.
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.
a blind spot is when someone stares at the light and it makes a spot in there eye that makes them blind.they call it a blind spot because it makes you blind and it makes a spot in your eye.
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.
Get out of their blind spot...

The Blind Spot was created in 1921.

the degree where the blind spot is.
The brain compensates for the blind spot. It compensates for it by taking in what is around the blind spot and using that as a reference to put a picture in the brain of what it thinks should be in the blind spot.
