Talk:Blind spot (vision)

It's taken approximately 6 trips back to my Optometrist., and $850.00 for two pair of glasses that I can't see out of for my Dr. to figure out, I have a "blind spot" in my right eye. I have given the glasses back for a full refund and he has made an appointment for me to see some other kind of Dr.(???). Can anything be done so that I can see clear out of my right eye? The glasses don't work for upclose or distance. I wear reading glasses from Walgreens but still can't see distance. I struggle everyday with my work and driving. I am 47 yrs. old and otherwise in good health. After reading online about "the blind spot", I see no purpose in going to this "other" Dr. Any suggestions???? AG

See scotoma. Everyone has the blind spot, but this should not be perceived by you at all. If you are having problems with your vision, that is not the blind spot but another blind spot (scotoma) that has developed in your eye. Also I would advise you not to ask for medical advice on Wikipedia; you're likely to wait forever or run into a crank. I suggest the WebMD forums. — coelacan talk — 18:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

table problem

Would someone please do whatever it takes to get the "See also" section out of the table? Better still, could someone replace the table by an image? Use the "Blind spot" external link for inspiration. Thanks. --Ujm 07:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Got the table fixed. I'm not going to make an image though. The A O X text worked fine for me when I tested it. — coelacan talk — 18:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Worked fine for me. Trippy, man. --Nuggit 08:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

no the table IS a problem. different screen resolutions and maximised/unmaximised browser windows means that the X might fall outside the 20 dgree axis shift of the blind spot... come on guys, put a static pic there ;-)

It sort of worked for me, the 0 faded away but didn't vanish. FinalWish 03:37, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Evolution

Is the comment about "proof" of evolution really necessary? Seems irrelevant to the article. 69.158.4.144 14:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What was taken out: The existence of the blind spot in vertebrate eyes is the basis of one argument in support of the theory of evolution, in that a perfect God would not create an "imperfect" eye. Yeah... irrelevant. Good call. Makes ya think though. --Nuggit 08:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The blind spot was "Designed" by the Invisible_Pink_Unicorn (Peace Be Unto Her) on purpose to remind you heathens of the wrath of God. :p Sasank (talk) 17:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Test doesn't belong here

We're not a guide on how to find a blind spot in your eye nor is wikipedia here to provide a test for doing so. --Crossmr 06:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, the test is quite useful. Its very simple and lets you check what a blind spot is immediately. And why is wikipedia not a guide? I will revert the test back unless there is a better explanation as to why it should not be here. --Sasank (talk) 12:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I now know a lot more about the blind spot. IMO it's a vital part of the page. 84.230.103.185 (talk) 15:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
