In daylight, an object is most clearly seen when the light rays from it are focused directly here. Moving outward from the blind spot the number of cones decreases and the rods increases.

Optic disc (blind spot)


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.


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.

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.
