The blind spot is the region where the optic nerve leaves the eyeball and the photoreceptor cells(light-sensitive cells) are absent.
What is a blind spot?
It is a small portion of the visual field of each eye that corresponds to the position of the optic disc within the retina located to the right of the center of vision of the right eye and vice versa in the left eye. There are no photoreceptors (rods and cones) in the optic disc and hence there is no image detection in this area.
The nerve fibers route before the retina, blocking some light and creating a blind spot where the fibers pass through the retina and out of the eye.
Rod and cone photoreceptors are specialized neurons that function in the initial step of vision. Photoreceptor cells lie at the back of the retina adjacent to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a cell layer that is vital for the survival of photoreceptors.
Because of the absence of photoreceptor cells, objects are obscured entirely by the blind spot and unseen in monocular vision.
Hence blind spot is the region of the optic nerve where photoreceptor cells are absent and there is no vision.
