What is blind spot in eye?

Solution

The retina comprises light-sensitive cells that transmit messages to the brain about what is seen. The spot in the retina where the optic nerve connects is devoid of light-sensitive cells. As a result, this part of the retina cannot visualize. This spot is referred to as the blind spot.
