OPTIC NERVE

The optic nerve transmits nervous impulses from the rods and cones of the retina to the brain. The area of the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye is known as the blind spot. It contains no visual cells and is therefore insensitive to light. The fovea is the area of acutest vision.
