Answer #1

Answer - The cells that make up retina has to connect to the brain via optic nerves. These nerve bundles lie in front of the retinal cells which has to go through the inside surface of eyeball to reach the brain. These nerves after passing through the eyeball inner surface gets collected together and dive back through the retina at a place called the blind spot. Since there is a need for the nerve bindle to dive back through the retina, and since there is no retinal cells present, there is a blind spot present.

It doesn't effect the normal vision because the brain fills in the gaps.
