The place in the retina where the optic nerve exits to the brain is called the
blind spot
The place in the retina where the optic nerve exits to the brain is called the optic disc (also known as the blind spot). The optic disc is a small area located towards the back of the eye where the nerve fibers of the retina converge to form the optic nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain. Because there are no photoreceptor cells in the optic disc, it is not able to detect visual information, which is why it is called the blind spot. However, due to the overlapping visual fields of both eyes, we are typically not aware of this blind spot in everyday life.
