eidetic memory means "photographic memory"

 Eidetic memory (/aɪˈdɛtɪk/ eye-DET-ik; more commonly called photographic memory) is an ability to recall images from memory after only seeing it once, with high precision for a brief time after exposure, without using a mnemonic device.

I had a friend like this in college who could read a page up to 5 pages and read it back from memory. But, often this doesn't last throughout a lifetime but often it does until 25 or 30 if they don't drink a lot of alcohol which tends to kill brain cells along the way.
