A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, "blind point", or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light - detecting photoreceptor cells on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc . Because there are no cells to detect light on the optic disc, the corresponding part of the field of vision is invisible . Some process in our brains interpolates the blind spot based on surrounding detail and information from the other eye, so we do not normally perceive the blind spot . </P> <P> Although all vertebrates have this blind spot, cephalopod eyes, which are only superficially similar, do not . In them, the optic nerve approaches the receptors from behind, so it does not create a break in the retina . </P>

Explain the consequences if the light rays were to fall on blind spot
