What is Blindspot and Yellow spot ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At the beginning of the optic nerve in the retina there is a spot free from rods and cones. This spot is devoid of the ability for vision and is called blind spot. On the other hand, yellow spot (macula) lies a little lateral to the blind spot. Its central part contains only cones and no rods, hence is the site of highest vision ability.
