The optic disc in the human eye is the part of the eye that is connected to the retina and carries visual information to the thalamus and other parts of the brain.
The optic nerve leaves the eye at the back of the eyeball, where it connects to the retina. This point is known as the optic disc or optic nerve head.
The optic disk is the point on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye. It does not contain any photoreceptor cells, so it creates a blind spot in our vision. Its function is to transmit visual information from the retina to the brain for processing.
Point where optic nerve enters eyeball is the optic disc.
The optic disc or blind spot is where optic nerve leaves the back of the eye. There are no photoreceptors (rods/cones) in that area.

The optic nerve enters the eye at the back of the eyeball through an opening called the optic disc. This area is also known as the blind spot because it lacks light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) that are present in other parts of the retina.
The junction of the retina and optic nerve is called the optic disc or optic nerve head. This is where the optic nerve exits the eye and carries visual information from the retina to the brain. The optic disc is also known as the blind spot because it lacks photoreceptor cells and cannot detect light.
