Question about my eye and blind spot is this normal?

[sctt859]

If i close my right eye and look around with my left eye ill notice certain objects in my perpheral vision disappear like if I am looking straight at a doornob lets say, I cover my right eye  then i take my left eye and look a little bit past the door nob it disappears from my peripheral vision, It happens with any object i do this too. Is this normal? is this a normal blind spot? thanks

There is a normal blind spot about 15 degrees toward your ear.  If this is a change it can be due to a problem.  You can see an ophthalmologist and get a visual field test.

Thank you Dr.Oyakawa, so the rest of the stuff about things disappearing in my peripheral vision when closing my one eye thats normal too? Not alot of things disappear like usually one thing near my peripheral.

If you star at an object without moving your eye it tends to "disappear."  This is normal
