works for both eyes - most freaky
but fact is the eyes never stay still, thats how we dont notice the blind spot normally.

I thought it was to do with our brain "filling in the gap" based on the surrounding area, hence why its white. If you changed it to a green background itd be green I think.

I think 9gag is being a bit unstable at the mo which is why the image might appear broken, try again later if so!
