I have a very small blind spot that I am only ever aware of when I do a visual field test at the Ophthalmologist. The rest of the time I have no idea it’s there. The brain and the eyes can do some neat stuff

I mean, everyone has a blind spot in each eye, where the nerve goes through the retina. It's pretty easy to find it, if a person closes one eye, stares fixedly forward with the other one, and moves something small like the mouse cursor around until they can't see it moving.
