What does "Blind spots" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.
"Blind spots" in medicine refer to areas in our field of vision where we can't see anything. This happens because there's a part in the back of our eye, where the optic nerve connects to the eye, that doesn't have any light-detecting cells. So, if an image falls on this part of the eye, we won't be able to see it. This is a normal phenomenon and everyone has a natural blind spot in each eye.
