A1.19
The Blind Spot and Visual Field Defects
Cards in this group · 5
- A1.19.1There are no photoreceptors where the optic nerve exits, creating a physiological blind spot
- A1.19.2Binocular field overlap keeps the blind spot unnoticed in daily life
- A1.19.3The brain fills in the blind spot using surrounding information, which can produce misjudgment rather than a sense of absence
- A1.19.4Monocular viewing or pathological visual field defects reveal the blind-spot effect
- A1.19.5Critical information should not fall exactly on the blind-spot angle in monocular-use scenarios
