If you are not looking and actually moving your head when at junctions for example, you stand the risk of not seeing a narrow object such as a cyclist, because they could be in your blind spot, or even something larger at times. This blind spot can automatically create problems when driving. Whatever shortfall there is about visual information, the brain fills in. The brain makes up, or fills in what it believes to be there! The blind spots occur because the optic nerve ends in the field of the retina itself. The other eyes peripheral vision sees the missing detail.Ģ. Sudden blindness (total or near-total vision loss) in one eye is a medical emergency. How does the blind spot warning work Blind spot warning (BSW) systems use cameras, radar, and/or ultrasonic sensors alongside your vehicle to detect vehicles you can’t see that are next to or behind your car. Scintillating scotomas are blind spots that flicker and waver between light and dark. This downfall is compensated by two things (which is why we don’t notice blind spots):ġ. A macular hole is a small hole in the central part of the retina which can lead to distortion and blurring of central vision. You do not notice this because the opposite eye can see where the other eye cannot. A scotoma is an aura or blind spot that obstructs part of your vision. This type the most common following a stroke is called hemianopia. This is because we have no photo receptor cells on the optic nerve at the back of the eye covering this area (which sends visual images to the brain). Visual field loss may occur on one side in each eye so that, for example, a person can only see on the left or right side.
Our eyes have a blind spot at around 20 degrees in each. Closing your right eye, focus on the cross, and move your head slowly forwards and backwards at some point, the dot will vanish.
