The tapetal-like reflex (TLR) is a rare, golden, bright, scintillating, particulate reflection observed during indirect ophthalmoscopy, typically sparing the fovea. It resembles the reflection seen in the eyes of certain vertebrates. TLR has been noted in female carriers of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and has also been observed in a healthy young male.
