Official report finds eyewash inside retina (8)

I believe the answer is:

bulletin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'official report' is the definition.
(a news report)

'eyewash inside retina' is the wordplay.
'eyewash' becomes 'bull' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'inside' indicates the central letters.
The middle of 'retina' is 'etin'.
'bull'+'etin'='BULLETIN'

'finds' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
