Why does optic nerve cause a blind spot?
Answers
Optic nerves basically link our eyes with the brain.
This nerve extends from the retina of our eyes till our brain.
Now, the beginning of the optic nerve which originates from the retina is called optic disc and it lacks photoreceptors (cones and rods) and hence does not get stimulated on receiving light, as a result it is referred to as the blind spot
The natural blind spot (scotoma) is due to lack of receptors (rods or cones) where the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eye. There can also be artificial blind spots when something blocks light from reaching the photoreceptors, or when there is local adaptation of the retina as just after seeing a bright light.
