What is the structure also known as the blind spot?

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.


What is blind spot and its examples?

Well, a blind spot is technically any obstruction in the way of your view of something else. Most common example of this type of blind spot is the area which cannot be seen when looking in your rearview mirror or side view mirrors in your car. Medically, a blind spot is basically a black spot that obstructs an area of your vision. This is commonly caused by the optic disk in the eye, which is the functional blind spot.


What causes your blind spot?

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.

What is known as the blind spot of the eye?

The blind spot of the eye is an area on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye. This spot lacks light-detecting cells, so light that falls on this area cannot be detected. The brain fills in the missing information from the blind spot, so we typically do not perceive a gap in our vision.

No. The blind spot reflects the retinal area where the optic nerve fibres leave the eye ( The Optic Nerve head). So in many animals the blind spot is present though they are not aware of it. Same goes with human.


Explain why the part of the image hitting the blind spot is not seen?

Vision is lost when light hits the blind spot because the blind spot lacks photoreceptors, so light focused on it cannot be seen.


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.
