   Are blind spots a normal part of your vision?

   • Blind spots are a normal part of your vision. Why? The optic nerve, which communicates with your brain, passes through a hole in the retina. Because of that hole, we can’t see images that hit that spot. The place in the eye where the optic nerve exits is called the optic disc.

   What causes blind spots in vision?

   • The lack of light-sensitive cells causes a blind spot. Without light-detecting cells, your eye can’t transfer messages about an image to your brain, and your brain can’t interpret the image for you. As there are no cones or rods at this point on the retina, you have a small gap in your visual field. What Do Blind Spots in Vision Look Like?

   What is a blind spot?

   • We call this the blind spot. Most of the time you don’t notice your blind spot because the spot in one eye doesn’t match the spot in the other eye. Each eye supplies information to the brain, filling in what’s missing. Also, sometimes the brain will fill in the missing information with what it thinks should be there.
