Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of a target with a missing bull's eye area of the image is a common symptom of macular degeneration, a condition that primarily affects central vision. Retinal detachment may cause a sudden onset of floaters, flashes of light, or a curtain or veil coming across the visual field. Fractured orbit or conjunctivitis are not likely to present with a target-like visual disturbance.
