The blind spot or optic disc is the specific region of the retina where the optic nerve and blood vessels pass through to connect to the back of the eye. It is a blind spot because there are no rods or cones there.

What is the area of the eye where the image is not formed?

This is known as the blindspot. It is where the optic nerve leaves the eye. There is no room for photoreceptors due to the amount of blood vessels in this area, so no image is formed at this particular spot.


Why is the blindspot incapable of being stimulated by light rays?

The blindspot is where the optic nerve exits the eye, and there are no photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) present in this area to detect light. Thus, light rays that fall on the blind spot cannot be converted into neural signals for the brain to process vision.


Do different people reveal a blind spot at the same distance from the test patterns?
