How big should your natural blind spot be?

If I close my eye & hold my finger about 6 inches from my face, I can almost make my whole finger disappear. Is that about the normal size or enlarged?

No that 's bigger than normal. Usually it would be part of the tip.

See an ophthalmologist. you may need a visual field exam also.'

Oh actually, I did just mean the tip I'm sorry. I meant width wise not length. Is this normal?

I cannot give you an exact width of the normal blindspot at 6 inches.
