eidetic
Vividly retained visually
Eidetic describes mental imagery so vivid and detailed it approaches the clarity of actual perception.
An eidetic memory retains visual information with photographic precision: She had eidetic recall of pages she'd read years ago.
The term appears most often in psychology, though popular usage tends toward the looser "photographic memory."
