The back of your eye (the retina) is full of sensor cells (rods and cones) each sending out a signal through a nerve part called an axon. The place where all the axons meet to form the optic nerve (a nerve bundle), doesn't have any sensor cells. That's the blind spot. (The sensors can't overlay the nerve bundle at that point on the retina.)

The blind spot that is present in your eye represents the portion of the retina which has been disrupted by the optic nerve. In your eye, you have a sheet of photoreceptive cells, normally centered around the fovea (the photoreceptor-rich portion of the eye). However, where the optic nerve attaches to the eye (the optic nerve leads to the brain, and actually developed from neural tissue) there are no cells, and there is a small portion where you cannot actually see.
