Optic nerve drusen

I just found out i had optic eye drusen and i'm pretty afraid i want to now exactly what it is because the eye doctor or my mother won't tell me. My mother said that when i get older i might need surgery and i'm really afraid and i'm just a teen so i don't know much about it so what is optic eye drusen

Why don't you use the usual search engines to do some research on your own.  Optic disc drusen in themselves are not something dangerous or scary.  Sometimes they can contribute to some degree of visual field loss but often are totally asymptomatic.  I think it is very important to see an ophthalmologist to make sure that it is truly optic disc drusen and not something else.  Photographs and visual field testing might be helpful and sometimes B-scan and red-free photographs can help make the diagnosis.
