A member asked:

What to do if i have a small blind spot in my eyes is it possible that it would get larger?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normally: Each eye has a small blind spot located about 15 degrees outside of the center of fixation. Enlargement of the blind spot can occur with glaucoma and various diseases of the optic nerves including papilledema from increased intracranial pressure.
