OPTIC NERVE DRUSEN
Are Optic Nerve Drusen always congenital?
well i was recently told that i had optic nerve elevation and sent me for all these tests. All came back ok. Then after a couple of months the dr. did an ultrasound and just said it looks like i have drusen and it's congenital and just sent me home. I am trying to get into a neuroophthalmologist but i'm not sure if i can get into an appointment because they sort of pick who goes and who doesnt, based on if they feel they need to be seen. I just dont want to be overreacting. It's my eyes, and my vision seems to be getting worse, along with eye pain and pressure and headaches.

Good question. Probably, but may not be seen until later in life.
