Deer Sir,
I am a 18 year old male, when i was 10 year old i had suffered from eye sight problem, i visited to the eye specialist he told me to ware spectacles, but spectacles does not meet my requirements. When i was 14 years old one of the eye specialist diagnosed this disease in me called "BULLS EYE MACULOPATHY" . The question which i wants to ask is that, is there is any treatment or surgery possible to over come this eye disease and what were the causes of this disease? Is it inherited?
Thank U

Bull's eye maculopathy is not a specific specific disease but a descriptive term of what the macula looks like. It is often due to drug toxicity with plaquanel taken by mouth.

Bull's Eye Maculopathy is not a definitive diagnosis but a description of pigment accumulating in the macula. There are several causes the most common being plaquanil toxicity.  I cannot answer your question and you must see the answers from those that can actually examine your eyes and view the OCT.
