A physiological blind spot exists in all healthy individuals as a result of the lack of photoreceptor cells in the area where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc. In day to day life, the brain does an excellent job of reducing our awareness of the blind spot by using information from other areas of the retina and the other eye to mask the...
Wash your hands and don PPEif appropriate. Introduce yourself to the patient including your name and role. Confirm the patient’s name and date of birth. Briefly explain what the examination will involve using patient-friendly language. Gain consentto proceed with the examination. Position the patient sitting on a chair.

Anything obstructing the travel of light towards the retina may affect the field tests, for example, lens opacity (cataract), ptosis (if not taped away from the pupil) or the rim of a correcting lens ...

Aug 28, 2013 · Blind spot. A physiological blind spot exists in all healthy individuals as a result of the lack of photoreceptor cells in the area where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc.
The point where your optic nerves converge to exit the eye and into the brain is known as the optic disc. This area of the eye has no light-sensitive cells to detect light rays. This results in a break in the visual field known as your “blind spot.” When the cross mark disappears, you instead “see” a continuous white field.
