I thought it was 2°? A dime held out at arms length if I recall.

Honestly, idfk. Maybe that’s the blind spot?

Just now looking at things the clear bit of my FoV feels like 20%…which is clearly suuuper scientific. I’m getting ill, and have enough energy to comment on the internet or fact check myself…not both.

Wikipedia says it’s more like +/-1° or about 2° is where you have more cones than rods. +/-10° has elevated cones compared to other parts of your FOV

That being said, not sure how much I trust this graph given that I clearly have a blind spot on the right side for my right eye (temple side) but this marks it as only on the nose side? Unless I’m mistaken

E: am mistaken

Everyone’s eyes are different. I’m sure there’s a blind spot that’s supposed to be where they say it is, but who’s to say your eyes are exactly like the average eye?
