Answers
Blind spot, small portion of the visual field of each eye that corresponds to the position of the optic disk (also known as the optic nerve head) within the retina. There are no photoreceptors (i.e., rods or cones) in the optic disk, and, therefore, there is no image detection in this area.
Hi
Here is ur answer
______________________
Blind Spot ( Optic disc):
# At this point, the optic nerve turns towards the outer side, pierces through the whole thickness of the wall of eyeball, forming an optic foremen and runs to the brain.
# Obviously, the region of optic foremen has no retina.
# It therefore, does not take part in image formation and is called blind spot.
