Vision is lost when light hits the blind spot because the blind spot lacks photoreceptors, so light focused on it cannot be seen.

Why can't you see an image hitting the blind spot?

The blind spot is an area on the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye, and it lacks light-sensitive cells to detect images. When an image falls on the blind spot, the brain fills in the missing information based on surrounding visual information, creating a seamless perception without any gaps. This filling-in process occurs automatically, which is why we do not notice the blind spot in our daily visual experience.

What is the structure also known as the blind spot?

The blind spot is the part of the eye where the optic nerve leaves the eye. There are no light receptors so that is why it is called the blind spot.The spot is called the optic disc, or optic nerve head. Whatever part of your field of vision that falls upon this small spot will not be transmitted to the brain as part of the image. Fortunately for us, where two healthy eyes are functioning, the blind spot of each eye is compensated for by the other eye. There are quick and easy demonstrations of the blind spot that can be very dramatic for first-timers. What you 'perceive' at the blind spot is what the brain literally fills in. The spot seems to take on the general texture and color of whatever is around it. There is no perception of a 'black spot', or an empty space, since these would have to be detected visually.
