The raised, circular area in the back of the inside of the eye where the optic nerve connects to the retina; not sensitive to light.  Since there are no rods or cones overlying the optic disc, it corresponds to a blind spot in each eye.  It is also known as the optic nerve head.

 

Synonyms:
optic discs, optic nerve head
