Wikipedia says it's more like +/-1° or about 2° is where you have more cones than rods. +/-10° has elevated cones compared to other parts of your FOV

That being said, not sure how much I trust this graph given that I clearly have a blind spot on the right side for my right eye (temple side) but this marks it as only on the nose side? Unless I'm mistaken

E: am mistaken

Everyone's eyes are different. I'm sure there's a blind spot that's supposed to be where they say it is, but who's to say your eyes are exactly like the average eye?

The blind spot is where the nerves pass through the retina to reach your optic nerve. I was mistaken; because the image is flipped when it passes through the lens, the nose side has the blind spot but visually the hole is on the temple side, as is shown here

Neat!
