Question

Blind Spot: Will the blind spot be a hindrance and how would you overcome the blind spot?

Answer 1

Blind spot is a small portion of the visual field of each eye that corresponds to the position of the optic disk within the retina.There are no photoreceptors in the optic disk and therefore there is no image detection in this area.

This phenomenon is entirely physiological ,but our brains have adapted to this minor hindrance , fortunately , and tends to fill in the visual information for us ,so it's a matter of tricking the eye to actually visually experience the blind spot. Sometimes Blind spot become a hindrance to drivers while driving. Detection of blind spot in drivers will help to reduce accidents.
