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.
