SCOTOMA
A scotoma (Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language): darkness; plural: "scotomas" or "scotomata") is an area or island of loss or impairment of visual acuity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity) surrounded by a field of normal or relatively well-preserved vision (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception).

Every normal mammalian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal) eye has a scotoma in its field of vision, usually termed its blind spot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_%28vision%29). This is a location with no photoreceptors, where the retinal ganglion cell axons that comprise the optic nerve exit the retina. This location is called the optic disc. The blindspot does not intrude into consciousness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness) because the corresponding visual field locations of the optic discs in the two eyes differ: The visual signals that are absent in one eye are sent to cortex by signals from the other eye.
The presence of the scotoma can be demonstrated subjectively by covering one eye, carefully holding fixation with the open eye, and placing an object(such as your thumb) in the lateral and horizontal visual field, about 15 degrees from fixation (see the blind spot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_%28vision%29) article). The size of the monocular scotoma is surprisingly large - 5x7 deg of visual angle.
