Can't Hear My Eyes

Here's a scan of my retinal exam with an ophthalmoscope at the opticians today. The dark area is my macula, or the part where I focus my vision. This area is dark because the depression of the macula and fovea (the tissue behind the macula) means the retina is thinner in that area, allowing more of the deeply coloured choroid to show through. You can see a tree-like structure of red veins stemming from the optic nerve where the bright light is. So you can see I wasn't looking directly into the lamp.
