Another popular one – and quite unnerving if you’ve never seen it before! Here’s what I want you to do: close your left eye and just focus your right eye on the tiny static circle on the left of the screen. At some point the big circle will disappear as it crosses your ‘blind spot‘. If you can’t see this effect, it means you’re sitting too close/far from your monitor. Try sitting closer/further to the screen and repeat the test. So, have you managed to find your blind spot? Find Your Blind Spot!

    It Half Disappeared For Me, LOL. Strange, Because All The Other Blind Spot Illusions Worked For Me.

    If I stare at a spot to the right side of the screen with only my left eye open, it would seem to me that I should have a blind spot in that eye. But this did not work – only got the blind spot in my right eye by following Vurdlak’s instructions.

      will work on the right side if you put your mouse pointer about an inch from where the large dot stops and reverses on the right side of the screen. Then look at the pointer with the left eye only.

    If you close your right eye the small circle disappears!

    didn’t work for me. . . though I am actually blind in one eye. . .

    • Dr. J says:

      You still have a blind spot in your good eye. Move about a foot away from the screen and try again. You didn’t try looking through the blind eye did you, just kidding.

  6. Dr. J says:

    The interesting thing about blind spots is that some people have larger ones then others and neurologicaly it can change with different stimulation.

  16. shelli says:

    My blind spot was became apparent when the moving black ball was about an inch and 1/4 from the right side where the ball bounces back towards the left. Very interesting. What does it mean? What does having a blind spot mean or is it just an anomoly we all share.

  17. muhanad says:

    Well it worked for me…do the same thing but with your right eye closed and your left eye chasing the Big circle..You will notice the disappearance of the tiny circle as well
