Do We Always See Clearly?

About this episode

There is a blind spot where the optic nerve enters the retina of your eye. Yet, we don't see a hole in our field of vision. Scientists always thought that this was because our brain simply ignores the ever-present blind spot. Research has shown that an even more complex system erases that blind spot.
