I have cupped optic nerve/disk and normal eye pressure

I am a 20 year old, i recently started having migraines then neckpains.. I visited multiple doctors for advice but the migraines have now disappeared, and i have started having pains in my right eye until to my neck. the  opthamologist  and he told me there is a slight cupping in my optic disk or sumthing like that but my eye pressure is normal.. He said it might be a physiological thing that i was born like that.. He then sent me to a fellow  opthamologist  and he said the same and told me to go home and get back after three months but after being persistant he told me to go back after a month.. Its been three weeks since then and my neck pains have disappeared in a way but some times they come back, the doctor said it has nothing to do with the eye.. I live in a third world country and this scares me alot that may be the  opthamologist  aren't good enough.. I am planning to attend college this coming january and this has affected my self esteem alot i am getting depressed.

99% of everyone has a cupped optic disk.  That does not mean you have glaucoma. If two different Eye MDs have told you not to worry I would take their advise and have at least a yearly exam.

They are right that the optic nerve cup had nothing to do with your other pains
