Good Morning Bingbunny,

Bull’s eye maculopathy describes a number of different conditions in which there is a ring of pale-looking damage around a darker area of the macula. The macula can often appear to have circular bands of different shades of pink and orange. Age of onset and severity of sight loss varies, and it can be inherited in many ways.

This dystrophy is so uncommon, and so hard to tell apart from several other dystrophies, that research is at a very early stage.
