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.
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.
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.
To give a hint at what might be just around the corner.

It's just called a blind spot. You can also refer to it as a bad place to hang around in.
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

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.
Get out of their blind spot...
Move out of the blind spot when you have the opportunity to do so. Also, keep a close eye on the other driver(s) so you can react quickly if they start to merge.
The Blind Spot was created in 1921.
the degree where the blind spot is.
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.
Vision is lost when light hits the blind spot because the blind spot lacks photoreceptors, so light focused on it cannot be seen.
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.
