Everything we see is what your brain “decides” to see. Your nose is between your eyes and it’s in your field of vision. But your brain “edits” it out because that information is not needed. The same thing happens when you close only one eye. The blackness in your other eye is “edited” out because your brain has evolved to process what it needs rather than what it actually sees.
