what is blind spot in human eye ?

Blind Spot

It is a spot at which the optic nerve enters the eye and is insensitive to light and hence the name.


The human eye has a blind spot in its field of vision. This lies on the point of the retina where the optic nerve leads back into the brain. The retina has no light-sensitive rods or cones at this point, and so a small object in the field of vision's blind spot becomes invisible. (Dr.Rashmi Sudha)
