Another popular one - and quite unnerving if you’ve never seen it before… Close your left and eye and just focus your right eye on the tiny cross. At some point the big circle will disappear as it crosses your ‘blind spot’. If you can’t see this effect, then try sitting closer/further from the screen.

    i think it’s funny how some people are saying that they have no blind spot when every human eye has one.

    your left eye does have a blind spot, to see it the cross would have to be on the right and the dot on the left while closing your right eye

    Perhaps it has something to do with my usually wearing glasses half the day and not wearing them now, but, when checking my right eye’s blind spot, I sometimes never see the black circle go away. As far as my left side, I can either not see or both see and not see the cross (seemingly with a very visible but ever-changing wind of white trying to hide part of it) at various states of focus.

    uh… i don’t think i have a blind spot…

    I found something interesting about this. if you place a mirror on the table under the image, you can still see the dot in the mirror but not in your blind spot.

    if you concentrate on the cross with your left eye, you will not ind a blind spot because the left eye’s blindspot is on the far left side of it. The big circle is moving to the right, which is why it works on the right eye

    Doesn’t work.

    Listen up: It has to work. you have to have a blind spot unless your anatomy is different from all other humans. If it doesn’t work, you’re doing it wrong.
    Like all others just said, you have to cover your left eye if you’re focusing on the cross and the moving circle should disappear at one point.
    If you’re focusing on the big circle, cover your right eye and the cross should disappear, or at least that’s how it was for me.

    I’ve been staring at that cross for 2 minutes and nothing has happened….
