Learning Center > Health Library > Optic Nerve. The optic nerve is located in the back of the eye. This structure is responsible for transferring the images we see from the retina to the brain. The front surface of the optic nerve, which is visible on the retina, is called the optic disc.
The optic disc is also known as the blind spot. It is a small region in the eye where the nerve endings of the retina enter the optic nerve. It also does not contain any rods or cones to convert images into nerve impulses.
