What is the optic intersection in the brain?
The optic chiasm is the point near the base of the brain where the optic nerves from each eye partially cross over to the opposite side of the brain. This crossover allows information from the left visual field to be processed in the right side of the brain, and vice versa.
Is Optic chiasm the blind spot of eye?
No. The blind spot in the eye is the optic disc, the point where the optic nerve meets the retina. At this point, there are no photoreceptors, so no detection of vision. The optic chiasm is the place near the brain where the optic nerves cross over.
What does optic chiasm mean literally?
Optic chiasm literally means "crossing of the optic nerves." It is the point in the brain where optic nerve fibers from each eye partially cross over to the opposite side of the brain, allowing visual information to be processed.

This area lacks photoreceptors, meaning it does not detect light, which is why it is referred to as the blind spot. The optic disc is located on the retina and serves as the exit point for the optic nerve fibers that carry visual information to the brain.
