A1.19

The Blind Spot and Visual Field Defects

Cards in this group · 5

  1. A1.19.1There are no photoreceptors where the optic nerve exits, creating a physiological blind spot
  2. A1.19.2Binocular field overlap keeps the blind spot unnoticed in daily life
  3. A1.19.3The brain fills in the blind spot using surrounding information, which can produce misjudgment rather than a sense of absence
  4. A1.19.4Monocular viewing or pathological visual field defects reveal the blind-spot effect
  5. A1.19.5Critical information should not fall exactly on the blind-spot angle in monocular-use scenarios
