macular sheen

I would put... macular sheen.

This document describes it as such:

Signs
A sheen or abnormal reflectivity of the macular surface is suggestive of an ERM. More advanced ERMs can become opaque.

And ERM is...

macular reflex

*post-grading answer*

El equivalente natural a brillo macular en inglés es macular reflex.

Hasta donde he podido recabar, la disminución o pérdida de brillo macular suele referirse como blunting / loss / lack of reinforcement of macular reflex, mientras que el aumento de brillo macular se suele expresar en inglés en tanto que "anormalidad"; abnormality of the macular reflex / abnormal reflectivity of the macular area -aunque seguro hay otras expresiones más específicas.

Señalar como nota curiosa que en el caso de las etapas iniciales de la membrana epirretiniana (ERM), se habla en inglés de cellophane macular reflex
