What is Bulls Eye Maculopathy?
Bull’s Eye Maculopathy is the name given to the way the central bit of the retina looks in many different kinds of eye conditions. It is not a diagnosis. It is the description of an appearance of the retina. Using a special instrument the eye doctor can look at the optic nerve and retina at the back of the eye. In children with certain eye conditions these parts of the eye look different from normal. Often the central bit of the retina (the macula) can appear to have circular bands of different shades of pink and orange. Eye doctors often describe this appearance as ‘Bull’s Eye Maculopathy’.
