What do you mean that they're located at the same distance? Distance from what?
Blind spots are the site where there are no photoreceptors in the retina. (Photoreceptors are "rods" and "cones", which are responsible in processing light received by the retina)
The blind spots are located medial (nearer to your nose, than to your ears) at each eye. When you're seeing with both your eyes, there is no blind spot because binocular vision allows the overlap of the medial vision field.

The fact that there are no photo receptors on the optic nerve is what cause blind spots. In your right eye, the optic nerve enters the eye to the left of the center of your retina, giving a blind spot that is just to the right of the point you are looking at. In the left eye, it is the opposite. Both blind spots are approximately the same distance from fixation but in opposite directions.
