Hi, My name is Larry I'm 51, I've had buried optic nerve head drusen all
my life. I can still see good and don't have a problem with it. I have been
told blood thinners and Viagra like drugs can cause problems with bleeding in the eye.
I have hemorrhagatic drusen and once in awhile I will see a colored pulsating blob of light when I close my eyes,
this has only happend two times to me that I know of, it goes away in a week or so, see a doctor
if this happens just for a checkout.   Larry

There is no treatment for optic nerve drusen.  Most do not cause significant problems.
