What Region of the Retina Lacks Photoreceptor Cells

Question

What region of the retina lacks photoreceptor cells?
A) sclera
B) optic disc (blind spot)

Accepted Answer

The optic disc, also known as the blind spot, is the area of the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye. There are no photoreceptor cells in this region, so it cannot detect light or create visual images.
