Optometrists can demonstrate to you that there is a hole by having you fix your gaze on a point on the wall and closer up, move a pencil eraser across your view; it disappears when it crosses this part of the retina. So that means your brain fills in this missing information with what it thinks should be there…….and gives you a uniform view with no missing pieces…..if it can do that for your vision, where else does it do that? Memories? Explanations for why your mother said, “that thing?” What motivates a doctor, lawyer, or plumber to do X?
