Just had OCT pics optic discs are more elevated than last year, mostly my left eye.

Every time I visit Medhelp, I am confused as to the correct way to post a question. Hoping I did this right. Anyway, I have Optic Disc Drusen and usually there's no change. This time there is and now I'm worried.

First of all there is no treatment for optic nerve drusen. Second OCTs often look different because it is hard to get an exact "Cut" (known as a raster line) exactly through the same place on the nerve as previous. Even if there was a change it doesn't mean it will cause any effect in your vision that you would notice.

I get very anxious about medical stuff. I have been looking up reasons for elevated optic nerves and have myself diagnosed with a brain tumor or MS already. I really should probably stay off the internet with these things. Thank you for response.

Optic nerve drusen is a cause of elevated optic nerves and so called "false or pseudo-" papilledema.
