your optic nerve attatches your eye and brain together
Does the optic nerve pass through the foramen ovale?
The natural blind spot (scotoma) is due to lack of receptors (rods or cones) where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye. It is where the optic nerve leaves the retina not enter it. The optic disk or blind spot is where the optic nerve leaves the eye; you cannot use that field of vision because the optic nerve is there.
Which cranial nerve is the sense of sight?
