QQuestion

Blind spot is the part of the eye devoid of light sensitive cells formed at the junction of optic nerve and retina.

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

True.

Explanation:

The blind spot is an area on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye. It contains no rod or cone cells (light-sensitive cells), so it cannot detect any image, creating a blind spot in the visual field.
