Retina Blind Spot

The right retina as it would be seen if the front part of the eyeball with the lens and vitreous humor were removed. The white disk to the right marks the entry of the optic nerve (blind spot); the lines radiating from this are the retinal arteries and veins. The small central dark patch is the yellow spot, the region of most acute vision.
