Blindspot is present in the retina. It is the area from which the optic nerve leaves the retina. On this blindspot, no photoreceptor cells are present and thus no image is formed on this part. Macula lutea is the yellowish pigmented spot. It is present on the posterior pole of the eye. It is located lateral to the blind spot. The fovea is present on the macula lutea. On this fovea, only cones are present. As only cones are present on it the images formed on it are very clear and sharpest. Thus, blindspot and macula lutea are opposite to each other in function.
