If a person is suffering from a blind spot then will he/she become blind?

 Having a blind spot is not any suffering of getting blind, rather it is normal. Having a blind spot in each eye is a natural occurrence and is typically not cause for concern. 

Each of our eyes has a tiny functional blind spot about the size of a pinhead, which occurs due to the structure of the eye and a lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc.

Since, there are no cells to detect light on the optic disc, the corresponding part of the field of vision is invisible. But, our brains typically fill in any information we need based on the images surrounding our blind spot, so normally we don’t perceive the blind spot.
