Can some doctor tell me the English term for my eye diagnosis so I can research it? [M27]

So yesterday I was at the eye doctor and she gave me this diagnosis (This is direct translation so I don't know what English term would be):

"Stratification of the retinal layers o. dex" or maybe "Differentiation of retinal layers o.dex" (I google translated these)?

So about 5-6 days ago I started having following symptoms:

• brownish vision
• Always seeing a low opacity brownish / greyish circle in the middle of my vision
• everything looks deeper or more concave
• lower brightness and color intensity
• letters are smaller
• drop of sharpnes for about 40-50%
• can't see well in the dark anymore (can't see faces or writing in low light)

Doctor basically explained to me that this condition usually happens only to men aged under 30. Most often it happens due to stress or hard physical activity. If it happens to women it's only because they have wrong medicine but its very rare.

My doctor prescribed me Nevanac (Nepafenac) eye drops (3 drops a day) and Edemox (Acetazolamide) 250mg (2 times a day half the pill) pills which are some sort of diuretic. She told me not to worry and that vision should fix itself in about 3 weeks although there is a rare chance it could get a bit worse. She also told me this condition could repeat itself in the future.

She also showed me 3D picture of my eye and what happened is that some sort of growth-like looking things showed up in the middle of my eye right in the middle of my vision. She said that if it grew anywhere else in my eye I wouldn't notice it. She also said that it happens most often in the centre of the vision (like in my case).

I have a check up next week.
