Why does the organization of the eye guarantee that we have a blind spot? Why can't we normally detect the blind spot? -ANSWER The blind spot occurs due to the lack of photoreceptors where the optic nerve and blood vessels exit the eye. Our brain fills the blind spot in by using information that surrounds the blind spot area using ipsilateral and contralateral visual input. What is different about the fovea and the rest of the retina? Why is visual acuity best when images fall on the fovea? ...
