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.

How do you think the blind spot affects your vision?
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.
Where is the blind spot located?
The blind spot is also called the optic nerve head. It is located on the retina, about 15 degrees horizontal from center vision.
Why can't you see an image hitting 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.
Why do human eyes have a blind spot?
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.
Is everyone's blind spot different?
Yes it is located on the optic disk in the back of each eye where the optic nerve attaches to the retina

Which part of retina where image is not formed?
The blind spot or optic disc
In the Retina what physical structure results in a blind spot?
optic nerve
Do flies have a blind spot?
The site where the optic nerve adjoins the retina could be considered a blind spot, as the retina does not have the densely packed comes and rods at this location. We do not perceive this because igur brain melds the information from other parts of the retina as well as information from the other eye, effectively filling any 'blind spots.' So, for all practical purposes the blind spots aren't blind in the sense we generally associate with the notion of ' blind spot.' For example, the driver's side-view mirror has a blind spot that is really blind.

because it your blind spot
What is the small area of the retina where no image is formed?
Optic disc (blind spot)

The blind spot is the location in the retina where all the nerves from the retina dive back down through the tissue layers to form the optic nerve.
What part of the retina where there are no light sensitive cells?
yellow spot or blind spot. it has no rod or cone photorecepter cells.
Area of the retina that lacks rods and cones?
The retina is filled with rods and cones- except for one spot. This place that lack rods and cones is called the blind spot, which can be found by covering up one eye and looking at something with the other. Out of the corner of your uncovered eye, you will will see something disappear. We don't realize it on a daily basis because our brain fills in the empty spot. The blind spot is located near the optic nerve and is about 2mm wide.
If you have a blind spot in your eye because your optic nerve has to connect to your brain somewhere Where?
