What is the Blind Spot in the Eye

Question

What is the blind spot in the eye?
A) where the macula lutea is found
B) more cones than rods are found
C) where the optic nerve leaves the eye
D) only rods occur

Accepted Answer

The blind spot in the eye is where the optic nerve leaves the eye, and no photoreceptor cells are present in this region. This can lead to a small gap in our vision, which is compensated for by the overlapping of the visual fields from both eyes.
