drusen

I have been currently diagnosed with drusen, im assuming its optic nerve drusen because there are calcifications on the back of my eyes but how do i know if it is the other kind of drusen, macular drusen? im 28 and i was in a car accident several years ago but all the did was a cat scan and everything was ok.  i was probably born with the optic nerve drusen but could i be getting macular drusen? if so how will i know?  please help im kinda freakin out lol i also have a little bit of blurred vision in my left eye and in my visual field test the whole top left quadrant was black in my right eye

Dear teamplayer15,

I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD about your testing, symptoms and learn more about your diagnosis.  It does sound as if you might have optic nerve drusen, not macular drusen.
